What factors determine the phase of a substance at a given temperature?
JEK
It's chemical properties. Each element has a specific boiling point and melting point, as well as freezing point. At room temperature, some elements (water being the most obvious) are liquid at room temperatures. However, some elements are solids (Sodium Chloride, NaCl) or gases (oxygen O2) at room temperature. This all soley depends on the elements specific chemical properties.

What is the name given to the fatty substance in the middle of your bones?
The fatty substance in the middle of your bones is yellow marrow.
What substance attracts and holds the most energy?
Any substance can absorb any amount of energy, unless it is vaporized or turned to plasma. Heat is thermal energy transferred to the molecules of a substance. Some substances, such as metals, require higher energy to reach a given temperature (specific heat) than do other substances.
How do biotic and abiotic factors affects living things in a given biome?
the biotic and abiotic factors affects living things in a given biome? and the living things a non living things that factors the life is an example of living things...
What is the limiting factors of the swamp ecosystem?
ecosystems limiting factors include the temperature of the water, sunlight, the amount of nutrients, and dissolved oxygen content, which is the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in a given volume of water at a particular temperature and pressure. The salinity can also be a limiting factor in aquatic ecosystems. This is the amounts of various inorganic minerals or salts dissolved in a given volume of water.
What factors determines the osmosis of a cell?
There are a many factors which affect the rate of osmosis. One of the factors is the temperature of the solution and solvent. Temperature affects osmosis because when temperature goes higher, molecules move faster. So, osmosis will increase. If the temperature is decreased, the rate of osmosis will decrease too. Another factor which affects osmosis is the size of the particles. The size of the particles affect osmosis because osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane and membrane's pores, or empty spaces, are different sizes. Only certain particles can fit through any given membrane. The concentration gradient can also affect osmosis because osmosis is a transport process therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient. The lower the concentration of the solute within a solvent, the faster that osmosis will occur into that solvent. The light and dark also affects osmosis because the greater the light, the faster osmosis occurs. The PH affects osmosis as well. The greater the pH of a solution, the more acidic or concentrated it becomes. The greater the concentration gradient of a substance on either side of a membrane the faster osmosis occurs.
What factors determine the point at which a given solute solvent combination reaches equilibrium?
This solvent is saturated with that solute. Saturation equilibrium.
What two factors determine the type of rock particles and minerals in any given soil?
Temperature and the way it was weathered.
How well a substance flows at a given temperature?
The ability of a substance to flow at a given temperature is it's viscosity. Water is not very viscus at room temperature and flows easily for example.
Under what conditions heat can be given to a substance without raising its temperature?
If the substance is in solid condition and at the melting temperature, heat can be given without rising the temperature. Then the substance melts and all the heat will be used in the melting process. Also when the substance is at the boiling temperature you can add heat without rising the temperature. At that point the heat is used to vaporate the substance.
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
What substance become a liquid when his temperature is above 0 degrees Celsius?
Any substance with a melting point above this given temperature.
What physical factors does the average kinetic energy of molecules depend on?
Correct. But I would add, this is not just a characteristic of liquids. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in any given substance, for all states of matter.
How do you measure Flammables?
You can find their flashpoint. This is the temperature that the given substance will ignite.
What is the amount of salt in a substance?
This is called the solubility at a given temperature and pressure.
The more particles a substance has at a given temperature?
the more thermal energy it has
What do the conditions present in the troposphere at any given time determine?
temperature
A measure of how well a solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature is that substance's?
Solubility
