Why does the wax not freeze at the top of candle?
The temperature is higher than the melting point of the wax.
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
Bees wax melting point?
The melting point of beeswax varies slightly and is between 62 and 64°C (144 to 147°F).
Does clay wax or metal have a lower melting point?
Wax. if you heat clay, you will see the moisture (water) dry off. This and metals (metals are known to have very high melting points in general) have higher melting points in general). Please note, some metals are actually liquid at room temp, e.g. cesium and mercury.
What is the melting point of solid wax C20H42?
The melting point of icosane (C20H42) is 36-38 0C.
Why does the wax not freeze at the top of candle?
The temperature is higher than the melting point of the wax.
What has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
What usually has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
What is wax's melting point?
bee's wax: about 62-64 C The range of the melting point is between 30 0C and 70 0C, depending on the material used. At a higher temperature the wax is thermally decomposed or ignited.
Which has a lower melting point HFor HBr?
HBr has a lower melting point of -86.8 degrees C. HF has a melting point of -83 degrees C.
What would happen if wax with low melting point was used in a lava lamp?
It would take quicker to heat up and work than if you used a wax with a high melting point.
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
Does wax have a high melting point?
It has a melting point between 31 degrees Celsius and 80 degrees Celsius, depending on the materials used.
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
Is the melting point of bromine higher or lower than the melting point of chlorine?
The melting point of bromine is -7,2 0C. The melting point of chlorine is -101,5 0C.
How is melting point of silicon dioxide lower than melting point of diamond?
