it increases up the meltingpoint of the solid
The presence of an impurity in lauric acid would likely decrease the melting point of the sample due to impurity disrupting the crystal lattice structure, making it easier for the molecules to overcome the intermolecular forces and transition from solid to liquid. The impurity can act as a defect, which requires less energy to break the bonds holding the crystal structure together, resulting in a lower melting point.
This is the melting point.
The temperature at which a solid melts is called the melting point. At this temperature, the solid transitions into a liquid state.
Melting point is important in organic chemistry because it can be used for the identification of a compound. For pure solid organic compounds will have a small melting point range (0.5-10C),thus presence of impurity can also be find out by Melting point.
It turns from a solid to a liquid
The term defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state is called the melting point.
The factor that has the greatest effect on the melting point of a crystalline solid is the type of bonding among the particles. Heat breaks the bonds that hold the particles together.
The temperature at which a solid melts is called its melting point.
assuming it is its own melting point NOTHING which is why its a MELTING point
The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes STATE from SOLID to LIQUID. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends (usually slightly) on pressure and is usually specified at STANDARDatmospheric pressure.
A solid turns into a liquid at its melting point.
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
