Basicly the difference is that melting is when a solid turns into a liquid but dissolving is when a solid kind of melts into a liquid like sugar kinda melts into the tea??????!!!!!!!! Hope that helped a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

∙ 7y agoMelting is a change of state, from solid to liquid, by adding heat. Dissolving is being absorbed into an existing liquid, unrelated to the initial solid. So ice melting leaves water. Dissolving sugar into water leaves a sweet mixture.

∙ 14y agoMelting is changing state from a solid to a liquid as a result of a change in temperature. dissolving is cause matter to pass into solution, For example salt dissolves into water it does not melt int water.

∙ 14y agoDissolving means forming a homogeneous solution by mixing a solute into a solvent in the form of solid into solid, solid into liquid, liquid into liquid, gas into liquid or gas into gas.
Melting means changing the state of matter of any substance from the solid to the liquid.
Reacting means combination of two substances to form a third substance which cannot be divided into the initial two substances via physical measures like boiling, filtration, etc.

∙ 12y agoNo, melting is the process of heating a compound until phase change: eg. the melting of the sodium metal Na(s) --> Na(l).
Dissolution is the process of dissolving eg. a salt in a solvent - the solvent doesn't change, but the salt breaks up in ions:
Table salt in water gives brine: NaCl + H2O --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O

When something is dissolved it is dispersed throughout another substance.

Is melting a Hersheys' kiss on a tongue a physical or chemical reaction?
Dissolution is a physical process.
What does the dissolving of a solute?
Depending on the substance, you can use organic solvents, acids, melting with fluxes and dissolution, dissolution under high pressure and temperature, etc.
Is dissolving sodium chloride a chemical or physical change?
The dissolution of sodium chloride is considered as a physical process.
Since the melting and freezing temperature are the same does something stay the same temperature when it is melting?
yes. tthe temperature says the exact same until the whole things that is melting has melted.
Are melting and freezing point of Platinum are same?
Yes the melting temperature and the freezing temperature of materials are the same.
What is the similarity between melting and dissolution?
Melting and dissolution are physical processes; but some chemists consider dissolution as a chemical process.
Is melting a Hersheys' kiss on a tongue a physical or chemical reaction?
Dissolution is a physical process.
Why calcium chloride added in sodium chloride to lower the melting point?
The heat of dissolution for calcium chloride in water is greater compared with the same paremeter for sodium chloride; consequently the process of dissolution need more heat from the environment and the freezing point of the water solution is lower.
Examples of endothermic reactions in everyday life?
Some of the examples of endothermic reactions in everyday life are following: 1) Melting of ice 2) Evaporation of water 3) Dissolution of urea
What does the dissolving of a solute?
Depending on the substance, you can use organic solvents, acids, melting with fluxes and dissolution, dissolution under high pressure and temperature, etc.
Can salt and chemicals melt the snow completely?
Salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride) are added to reduce the melting point of ice; also the heat of dissolution contribute to the melting.
Is dissolving sodium chloride a chemical or physical change?
The dissolution of sodium chloride is considered as a physical process.
What are some good facts about melting agents of ice?
These agents catalyze the reaction. Melting becomes faster.
Effect of common salt on ice?
Dissolving a salt (NaCl, CaCl2) in water the heat of dissolution is released and the melting point of ice is then decreased.
What solid turns to liquid is called?
"Melting". Some might consider "dissolution" as an alternative answer, if the solid can be recovered from the solution by evaporation of the solvent alone.
What will come first dissolution or liquidation?
Dissolution is same for partnership as liquidation for company and both are separate and no one come before or after each other.
Is dissolution of marriage the same as separation?
No. A dissolution is a legal procedure that ends the marriage. A separation may be temporary or permanent but the couple are still married.
