Unlike almost all comparable mixtures, the ice is floating. In almost any other mixture, the ice would sink to the bottom.

How are chocolate chips made?

Chocolate chips are made by mixing melted chocolate with stabilizers and then pouring the mixture into chip-shaped molds. The chocolate is then cooled and hardened before being packaged for sale.


Since the melting and freezing temperature are the same does something stay the same temperature when it is melting?

When a substance is melting, it stays at a constant temperature until all of it has melted. During this process, the energy being added is used to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid structure together, rather than raising the temperature. Therefore, the temperature remains constant until the phase change is complete.


On which two factors does the final temperature of a mixture of hot and cold water depend?

The final temperature of a mixture of hot and cold water depends on the initial temperatures of the two water sources and the amounts of hot and cold water being mixed together.


What is happening to temperature when ice is melting to water?

During the melting process, the temperature of the ice remains constant at 0 degrees Celsius until all the ice has melted. This is because the energy being added to the ice is used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the solid together, rather than increasing the temperature. Once the ice has completely melted, the temperature of the resulting water can then begin to increase.

Can you eat melted snow?

I assume that melted snow is water, just purified through the water cycle and unpurified by being on the ground. To answer your question, you would have to drink melted snow.


How is plastic melted?

Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.

Why does the thernometer in the set up for distillation not place in mixture?

The thermometer in a distillation setup is typically placed above the mixture to measure the temperature of the vapor being produced during distillation. This allows for control over the distillation process by providing information on when different components are vaporizing and condensing. Placing it directly in the mixture could interfere with accurate temperature readings and risk contaminating the thermometer.


Is diamond more durable after being melted and cooled?

Temperature changes does not affect diamonds, since they are good conductors of heat, and that they were naturally formed on the Earth's mantle - which consists of magma and other hot substance.
