After the system reaches equilbrium what changes are observed?
balance
What occurs when it reaches its boiling point?
It boils: the liquid changes to gas phase.
What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
How are the atoms in an object affected when the temperature of the object increases?
Well, when the thermal energy of a substance increases, the temperature increases. When the temperature reaches the boiling or melting point, the state of the matter changes from one to another.
What will happen to temperature if ice is heated until it melts then boils?
When you heat ice it takes in the heat and its temperature rises until it reaches melting point. It then takes in heat without getting hotter. When it's all melted, then the water that it now is gets hotter and hotter. When it reaches boiling point more heat will simply turn it into steam without it getting hotter. If you keep adding heat to the steam then it will get hotter. The heat that you have to add to something to change its physical state (i.e. from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) but without it actually getting hotter, is known as 'latent heat'.
What Physical Property of water changes when it reaches its melting point?
Its physical state. When it reaches its melting point, it will change from a solid to a liquid.
Which physical property of water changes when reaches melting point?
mass
What change of state occurs when a substance reaches it's melting point. What occurs when it reaches it's boiling point?
When a substance reaches its melting point it changes from solid to liquid. When a substance reaches its boiling point it changes from liquid to gas.
How does a solid change to a liquid in science?
Solid changes to liquid when a substance reaches it's melting point. For example, water's melting point is 0 degree celcius.
At which temperature does a solid changes to a liquid?
Substances have different melting points. When a substance reaches it melting point it will begin a phase change. Wikipedia's chart for elements of melting points. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_melting_point
Is boiling point a physical intensive physical extensive or a chemical?
When a liquid reaches boiling point it goes through a phase change, liquid to gas. Phase changes do not change the nature of a chemical so it is a physical change. This physical change can sometimes be caused by a chemical change though.
Can you turn a liquid into a solid by freezing it?
No, freezing changes a liquid to a solid. To change a solid to a liquid you need to apply heat. The change begins when the solid reaches its melting point.
What happens when a gas reaches a cold surface and it changes into a liquid?
Both a chemical and physical change occurs.
What is incipient melting point?
The incipient melting point refers to how metal is heated. It is the point just before the metal reaches its melting point.
When a solid reaches it's melting point They become what?
Liquid.
What is the catchy slogan for melting ice?
catchy slogan is that which reaches to heart. and also is to the point
What happens when matter reaches melting point?
it melts =) and becomes a liquid
