Is energy required for melting?
yes. It takes energy to raise the temperature of the solid to the melting point.
Melting point of solid?
The temperature at which the kinetic energy overcomes the intermolecular forcesThe temperature at which the kinetic energy overcomes the intermolecular forces
What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
What is the melting point for hassium?
It is supposed that hassium is a solid metal.
What is the latent heat of sublimation?
No. Latent heat of vaporization is defined as the energy required to VAPORIZE 1 kilogram of a liquid completely at its boiling point. Latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to SUBLIME 1 kilogram of a solid completely into a gas at constant temperature. They're different. Note that the temperatures should be constant during the processes.
Is energy required for melting?
yes. It takes energy to raise the temperature of the solid to the melting point.
What is the energy required to go from solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
What energy is required to change a solid to a liquid at the melting point.Heat of?
heat of vaporization
Melting point of solid?
The temperature at which the kinetic energy overcomes the intermolecular forcesThe temperature at which the kinetic energy overcomes the intermolecular forces
What is the phase change from liquid to solid?
solidifying or freezing, releasing energy to the environment.
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
When does solid becomes a liquid by adding energy?
At its melting point (assuming it has one).
Does the kinetic energy increases when we heat a solid at its melting point?
Of the molecules in the solid : yes. Of the mass as a whole : no.
How does a contaminant affect the melting point of a solid?
A contaminant reduces the melting point of a solid.
What is the physical change of a solid at the melting point?
It turns from a solid to a liquid
The temperature at which a solid melts is called?
melting point
What requires more energy melting or boiling?
Melting requires energy input or absorption because liquid water has more energy than solid water.
