What is the melting point of tar?
What is the melting point of tar?
What pr ocesses change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
heat and pressure, but without melting.
How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
What is the melting point of strontium?
The melting point of strontium is 777 °C, or 1431 °F. Use the link below for more information.
What compound has the higher melting temperature Strontium Sulfate or Magnesium Oxide?
Magnesium Oxide Strontium Sulphate has a melting point of 1606°C while Magnesium Oxide has a melting point of 2852°C
What determines the chemical behavior of elements?
their boiling point and melting point.....etc.
Do rocks have a high melting point?
yes
Can metamorphic rocks be created by melting?
Nope, because they are created when the Earth pressurizes and heats it (but not to the point of melting). Igneous rocks are created when rocks melt.
What determines the melting point of chocolate?
fat, calories, and the amount of milk in it.
Which rock melts faster?
A rocks melting point at surface pressures would depend on its mineral composition. Every mineral has a different melting point, and rocks are composed of a variety of minerals.
How does melting point change as the water content of rocks increases?
The presence of the water in its vapor phase causes the melting point to decrease and the rock to melt and absorb the vapor.
How does structure affect properties?
The atomic structure of an atom determines what it is able to bond with. It will also effect its boiling and melting point.
How structure affects properties?
The atomic structure of an atom determines what it is able to bond with. It will also effect its boiling and melting point.
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
Why is lava a liquid?
Because it contains rocks/minerals that have been heated to their melting point, inside the earth.
When the temperature of rocks rises above its melting point?
If the temperature of rock rises above the melting point, it will melt into liquid. Theoretically, though not realistically, the rock could undergo a phase change and vaporize.
Can minerals melt?
Virtually all minerals can be melted, when raised to high enough temperatures. But most minerals cannot be melted without some help besides open Sun. The temperature of melting depends on the atomic construction and composition of the mineral.
