If you heat a solid past its melting point it will remain a liquid until the vaporization, or boiling point is reached, at which point it will go into its gaseous phase.

If a substace is a liquid already what would it be before the melting point?

It would be solid before it reached the melting point. If it is liquid, it has already reached the melting point.


What will happen if a solid temperature goes up?

if you were to constantly increase the temperature of a solid you would eventually reach the melting point for that particular substance, at which time the solid would melt to a liquid. if you were to keep heating the substance, at some point the liquid would reach its boiling point and would evaporate to a gas.


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 do you call the change in a state of matter from a solid to a liquid?

The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition


What does melting and boiling point mean?

The relative temperature at which a group of solids change into liquids is known as relative melting point. As heat increases, the solid slowly changes its state as it melts. Melting of ice to water is an example for melting point.


A liquid changes back into a solid by freezing at what point?

The FREEZING POINT ----- which for a pure substance (as opposed to a mixture)is the same thing as the melting point since they are both the point at which the liquid phase of a substance would be in equilibrium with the solid. For a mixture, the two would be different and you would get a freezing point range that started at the freezing point and ended at the melting point


Which molecular solid would have the highest melting point?

A solid that has hydrogen bonding would melt the easiest.


Does platinum have a low melting point?

No, platinum has a high melting point. Its melting point is 1,772°C


What do melting point have to do with phase change?

The melting point of a substance is the point at which it goes from being a solid to a liquid. Like, as everyone knows, the melting point of water is 32°F, so if you had an ice cube it would melt when it reached 32°F. So the melting point tells you when a state change would take place in a substance.


What state would copper be at 800 degrees?

It would be solid... Copper's melting point is as high as 1,084 C


What would happen if wax with low melting point was used in a lava lamp?

It would take quicker to heat up and work than if you used a wax with a high melting point.


Why are the melting point and boiling point of the same matter different?

Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a gas, while melting point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a liquid state from a solid state. The boiling point is always a higher temperature then the melting point. The melting point has a substance turn into a liquid from solid, and boiling point has a liquid turn into a gas.
