How is the melting point of a substance related to its freezing point?

Answer 1

The melting point of a substance is when a substance turns from a solid to a liquid, and the freezing point is when a substance turns froma liquid to a sold.

This of water, t he freezing point, when it turns to a solid (ice) is 0 degrees C.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

The melting point and freezing point are the same. The boiling point will be higher depending on the element or compound. You can look up these temperatures in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.

Answer 3

The melting point of a substance is when a substances temperature is high enough that it turns from a solid (ex; ice) to a liquid (ex; water). This can be seen happening when snow starts to melt and turn to water and slush.

The freezing point is when the temperature of a substance drops enough that it turns into a solid. An example of this is when you put water in the freezer. Here the cooler temperature in freezer lowers the temperature of the water until it reaches its freezing point and becomes ice

Answer 4

If the temperature is below the melting point, you know it is in the solid state. If the temperature is below the boiling point, and above the melting point, you know it is a liquid. If the temperature is above the boiling point, you know it is a gas, etc. (Note: melting point is the same as freezing point).

Answer 5

The boiling and melting points of pure substances vary based on the substance. Gasses for example have lower boiling and melting points than metals.

Answer 6

A certain substance has certain melting and boiling points which is what helps identify a substance.

Answer 7

Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
