Can the temperature at which a substance melts is the same temperature at which it changes from liquid to solid?

Yes. Melting point is changing from a solid to liquid & freezing point is changing from a liquid to a solid. Both occur at the same temperature & these terms are usually used interchangably, although melting point is probably used more often than freezing point.

When does a substance change from a solid to a liquid?
A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at the substance's melting point. This is a different temperature for every substance. For example, water (ice) melts at 0oC, whereas gold melts at 1,064oC.
Why the temperature does not change as a pure substance melts?
Addition of heat produces more liquid, breaking apart the intermolecular bonds, rather than increasing bond oscillation (increasing temperature).
Is boiling point is always same as the melting point?
NO!!! Boiling point is the temperature when a liquid changes to a gas. Melting point is the temperature when a solid changes to a liquid. Remember For rising temperatures It melts then boils For falling temperatures It condenses then freezes. Melting/Freezing point is the same temperature for change of state solid/liquid Boiling/Condensing point is the same temperature for change of state liquid/gas
What is the process called when water changes from solid to liquid?
The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.
What temperature does wax turn into a liquid?
Wax melts at 300 degrees F
When does a substance changes from a solid to a liquid?
A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at the substance's melting point. This is a different temperature for every substance. For example, water (ice) melts at 0oC, whereas gold melts at 1,064oC.
Are the melting and freezing of a substance the same?
Yes. A substance melts and freezes at the same temperature. Melting is as it changes from solid to liquid, freezing is from liquid to solid.
When a substance changes from solid to a liquid?
It melts. Energy is absorbed.
What happens to heat energy when a substance changes from solid to liquid?
it melts
When does a substance change from a solid to a liquid?

The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid is called the what?
Simply, the melting point. Think of an ice cube. The melting point is the temperature at which the ice cube MELTS into a liquid.
What happens to the temperature of naphthalene during melting?
Lab: Melting / Freezing Point of NaphthaleneObjective: In this lab, you will investigate the melting and freezing point of the substance, naphthalene (moth ball flakes). You will heat solid naphthalene and record temperature changes and examine the graph to determine the melting point of the substance. You will then cool naphthalene and record temperature changes in order to determine the Freezing point of the substance Part A: What happens to temperature as naphthalene melts?Objective: As heat is applied to liquid naphthalene, the temperature rises. As the temperature rises, the naphthalene will eventually start to melt. This lab experiment tries to answer the question: what happens to the temperature of naphthalene as it melts? In this lab, you will heat the liquid naphthalene, and record the temperature changes. You will graph the temperature changes before drawing any conclusions.Part B: Determining the freezing point of naphthaleneObjective: Freezing point is a characteristic property of matter. As heat is taken away from a liquid, the temperature of that liquid decreases as the substance begins to freeze. This lab experiment tries to answer the question: what is the freezing point of an unknown liquid (naphthalene)? In this lab, you will cool liquid naphthalene, and record the temperature changes. You will graph the temperature changes before drawing any conclusions.
What causes phase changes?
If a certain substance has reached a temperature at which it either melts, freezes, evaporates, ect.
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What does melting and boiling point mean?
The relative temperature at which a group of solids change into liquids is known as relative melting point. As heat increases, the solid slowly changes its state as it melts. Melting of ice to water is an example for melting point.
When a substance melts The temperature of the substance increases?
it decreases.
When a substance melts the temperature of the substance?
it decreases.
