Is melting point a periodic property?

A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.


What are the changes in the kinetic energy as a substance is heated to its melting point?

The kinetic energy increase.


What is more flammable than gasoline?

The flammablilty of liquids is measured by flash point this is the minimum temperature in which a spark will ignite it. Gasoline which is a mixture has a flash point of around 0 degrees C. One of the most flammable liquids, Diethyl ether has a flash point of -45 degrees so is much more flammable than gasoline.


Is gasoline toxic flammable and corrosive?

Gasoline is flammable. Liquids which can burn are divided into "flammable" and "combustible" according to their flash point temperatures, the lowest temperature at which they will burn. Flammable liquids will burn at temperatures below 37.8ºC (100ºF). A combustible liquid has to be heated to over 37.8ºC in order to burn. If gasoline were combustible, we wouldn't be able to start our cars in the winter without some sort of heating device to bring the gasoline up to a working temperature. Fortunately, the flashpoint of gasoline is -42.3ºC (-45ºF), so cars will start in some pretty cold weather. By the way, did you ever see in Die Hard 2 where Bruce Willis explodes the plane by setting a trail of jet fuel in the snow on fire with his lighter? That would never happen. Jet A-1 has a flash point of 51.5ºC (124.7ºF) and Jet A has a flash point of 42ºC (107.6ºF), both much too high for fuel lying in the snow.

What is the freezing point of gasoline?

Unleaded gasoline, and gasoline in general, does not have a specific freezing point. It is largely dependent on the location where the gasoline is sold, as methods of producing gasoline vary.


What is happening when a substance reaches its freezing point?

Nothing. IF it continues to loose energy, then it beguines to change state from a liquid to a solid.


If something is really happening is it paranoia?

Paranoia is a thought process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. It has nothing to do with whether or not a thing is actually happening, but with how think about it.


How does pressure change the boiling point of gasoline?

Does absolute potential energy both zero and negative at point of infinity?

There is really no such a thing as "absolute potential energy"; potential energy refers to the difference in energy between two points. For purposes of calculation, a convenient reference point is often chosen, and one such reference point is a point at an infinite distance.


What is so special about gasoline cars?

The point about gasoline is that it is a very convenient means of transporting energy. One Kilogram of gaspoline has an energy equivalent of 4.35*107 joules, more than can be transported in any other way. Considering that the average gas tank can store about 55 kilograms of gas, the average car can carry a very large energy reserve.

What is the boiling point of gasoline?

Boiling point of gasolineThe boiling point of gasoline varies. At atmospheric pressure, it's between 100 and 400 degrees F. A primary cause of this variance is the various additives in the gasoline from different refiners designed to meet different octane requirements.

Yes, as boiling point is a property of the substance.


What is petrols melting point?

Because gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons from hexane to dodecane, there is no set melting point. The melting point for octane is about -57 degrees Celsius, and the melting point for heptane is -91 degrees Celsius.
