How the energy of matter changes when it melts.?

When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.


Latent heat of fusion is the heat released when?

a solid melts (and the liquid remains at the temperature of the solid).


What is the melting point temperature?

The temperature at which the solid melts, which remains constant until all of the substance is melted.


When a solid melts its temperature remains same so where does the temperature goes?

Temperature indicate kinetic energy density in molecular vibration. Over phase change, energy go to motion and fight against molecular interaction make it mobile. Liquid is more mobile in compare to solid Vapour is more mobile in compare to liquid. Molecular vibration (temperature) stay the same while the energy input go to mobility (latent heat).


Did the temperature fluctuate while the is melting?

No. The temperature does not change during the melting process. All of the heat energy is used to break the bonds of the solid to form a liquid, i.e. the energy is used in the phase change, and thus is not used to raise the temperature.


What happens to the temperature of a solid at its melting point when heated?

The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.


How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?

The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.


How the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?

The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.


When solid NaCl is heated from room temperature it melts. Explain the change?

By heating the internal energy of a solid increase what leads to melting when the crystalline system is destroyed and the solid become a liquid.


What is the temperature at which solid melts called?

melting point


The temperature in which a solid melts is called its?

Melting Point


What happens when matter changes from liquid to solid?

As matter changes from solid to liquid (in other words when solid matter melts) the temperature remains constant. After all the solid has melted, the temperature of the matter may begin to rise again if the environment is warmer than the melting point of the solid.
