Does it gain or lose energy when a solid melts?
anytime a substance changes it's molecular structure (solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, solid to gas, gas to liquid) it loses engergy.
What is liquid called when a solid?
Either a substance is a liquid, or it is a solid. It can't be both.If it's a solid, it's called a solid.
Does a lump of iron float?
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What is the temperature called at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid?
It is the melting point of the substance.
What happens when a substance changes state from a solid or liquid?
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing.This change in the state of matter (solid to liquid) is called melting.They are physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What solid substance easily dissolve in liquid?
salt
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
Can any kind of metal float?
Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
What is volatile solvent?
A solid that can easily tranform into a gas.
When a substance changes from a liquid to solid it is...?
When a substance changes from liquid to solid is called freezing.
What is the point at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid?
A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at its melting point
Will solid gold float in melted gold?
No. Solid gold is denser than liquid gold and so it will sink. This is true of almost every substance except water.
When liquid becomes a solid it had to?
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
