Magnesium sulfate doesn't melt; at high temperature MgSO4 is thermally decomposed.
H2O is water. The melting point of water is 0oC or 32oF
Melting point 561 °C (anhydrous) 42.7 °C (tetrahydrate)Boiling point decomposes (anhydrous) 132 °C (tetrahydrate) Calcium nitrate has the above data from the relevant wikipedia page. This means that at room temp (250C), it is solid
When the sunlight strikes the snow, the surface of the snow is heated above the air temperature and some melting and evaporation occur.
Freezing: 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit, unless the sun is shining on it and the temperature is just below freezing.
Why not? Or, in other words, there's not really a "why" to explain here; it's an extension of a well-established trend (unlike mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature while all the metals around it are solid and there's no such trend that would predict its dramatically lower melting point). The trend for alkali metals is that they have lower melting points as you move down the table. By the time you get to caesium, it's only a little above room temperature, and the theoretical melting point for francium is even lower than that (but still slightly above room temperature).

-- pure alcohol at room temperature -- mercury at room temperature -- oxygen below its boiling temperature -- iron above its melting temperature -- nitrogen below its boiling temperature -- salt above its melting temperature -- gold above its melting temperature -- any other element or compound that is not H2O, above its melting temperature and below its boiling temperature
When a material is melting, the temperature is likely to be increasing. That or the temperature is just above the material's melting/freezing point.
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
Yes: FAR above.
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
Iodine melting point is above room temperature because its vapor pressure is less than one atmosphere.
Check the melting point of the substance. If the melting point is below room temperature, then the substance is liquid and if the melting point is above room temperature then it is solid.
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
If the temperature is below the melting point then the element is a solid.If the temperature is above the melting point but below the boiling point, then the element is a liquid.If the temperature is above the boiling point, then the element is a gas.
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.
The state of matter of a substance at room temperature depends on whether the melting and boiling points are above or below room temperature. At room temperature:A substance is solid if both the melting and boiling points are above room temperature.A substance is liquid if the melting point is below room temperature but the boiling point is above room temperature.A substance is a gas if both the melting point and boiling point are below room temperature.
