a crucible with the lid slightly ajar :-)
The heat absorbed when a solid liquefies is called latent heat of fusion. This heat is used to break the bonds between the solid particles, allowing them to move freely and change from a solid to a liquid state.
There are several names for when a solid changes to a liquid. Usually, melting of a solid occurs when heat is used near the solid and it changes it to a liquid.
You make a hole in the solid and stick a heater in it. To improve the effectivity you can fill the hole as well with oil so that the heater has maximum contact with the solid. Or put the solid in a pot of boiling oil.
Stoichiometry can be used to calculate the energy absorbed when a mass of a solid melts by considering the heat energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid together. By using the heat capacity of the solid, the mass of the solid, and the enthalpy of fusion for the substance, stoichiometry can help determine the amount of energy needed for the solid to melt.
yes
Electricity, gas, solid fuels
Conduction
the heat energy got converted and was used for melting.the heat energy was spent to convert solid into liquid state
put the solid substance into a test tube and then heat it on a wiregauze , alittle bit far from it...thx...with best regards.. crucible and lid is used for heating small amounts of solids
it is a burning stick used to test for the presence of hydrogen. it gives a 'pop' sound and then extinguishes in the presence of hydrogen.
To change carbon dioxide from a solid to a gas, you need to sublimate it by applying heat directly to the solid dry ice. This process causes the solid carbon dioxide to bypass the liquid phase and turn directly into a gas. This method is commonly used in special effects and in industries where dry ice is used for cooling purposes.
Solids change to liquids because bonds between molecules keeping the rigid structure of the solid are broken. The bonds take energy to be broken, and the form of energy used to break them is heat.
