It doesn't. Melting point is fixed for each substance at a particular pressure. However, very rapid heating can make it difficult to measure the melting point accurately.

Diamonds don't melt.


What is the melting point of Magnesium oxide?

The melting point of magnesium chloride depends upon the rate at which the heat is applied. With slow heating, the material will decompose above 300oC. With rapid heating, the melting point is about 714oC.


Why fast rate of heating gives higher melting and boiling point than the true one?

A fast rate of heating can cause the temperature to rise quickly, potentially exceeding the actual melting or boiling point of the substance before it has had time to equilibrate throughout. This can make it seem like the substance has a higher melting or boiling point than it actually does, as it has not fully transitioned to the liquid or gaseous state due to the rapid temperature increase.


How fast do you heat the sample when determining a melting point?

The apparatus used for determining the melting point will heat the sample at an appropriate rate. All you need to do is watch and note the point at which the sample melts, as should be demonstrated to you by your lab supervisor.

Yes, the ice in the Arctic is melting at an alarming rate due to climate change.


Factors affecting ice melting?

Several factors influence ice melting. 1) The amount of ice that must be melting affects the melting rate. 2) The amount of heat (or rate of heat) that is transfered into the ice affects the melting rate. 3) Because heat transfer is dependant upon surface area, the amount of exposed surface area, plays a significant role.I like cheese


What curve shows the relationship between temperature and time?

A temperature vs. time curve is often represented by a heating or cooling curve. During heating, temperature increases over time at a steady rate until reaching a plateau where a substance changes state. During cooling, temperature decreases over time at a steady rate until reaching another plateau at the substance's freezing or melting point.


What is the melting rate formula?

The formula to calculate the melting rate is MR = (Mf - Mi) / Δt, where MR is the melting rate, Mf is the final mass of the substance, Mi is the initial mass of the substance, and Δt is the time taken for the substance to melt.

How you can determine the melting point of a compound using capillary tubes and a digital melting point apparatus that need to be calibrated each time of use?

Melting points are ranges usually. It starts when the first crystal of the substance being tested melts and ends when the last crystal melts. Therefore the smallest sample possible and the slowest rate of heating will give the most accurate melting point.

Does the rate of heating equal to the rate of cooling of a substance?

No, the rate of heating and the rate of cooling of a substance are not necessarily equal. The rate of heating refers to how quickly a substance gains heat energy, while the rate of cooling refers to how quickly a substance loses heat energy. These rates can be different depending on factors like the material of the substance, the temperature gradient, and the presence of insulation.
