Good question. At sea level pressure (14.7psia), ammonia boils at -28degrees F or approximately -33degreesC. Under considerably greater pressure, it is a liquid even at room temperature. Because it can be readily compressed into a liquid at room temperature and well beyond, it becameTHE refrigerant of choice in the early days of mechanical refrigeration and air-conditioning. However, its toxic nature made it dangerous/unsuitable to use in home refrigeration, and absolutely unsuitable for use in car air conditioning. When DuPont invented dichlorodifluoromethane, or "Freon12" in the 1940s, with a P-T liquification curve similar to that of ammonia, ammonia was quickly displaced in many/most applications in favor of "Freon12" and car air conditioning came into being. However, even to this day ammonia is still used as a refrigerant in some industrial applications, such as ice houses, due to its cheap price, and it poses no threat to the overall environment.
Ammonia is a compound of Hydrogen and Nitrogen(NH3). It is normally found as a stinky, lighter than air, gas.Therefore at 'room temperature' it melting point is approximately -77C, and its boiling point -33C. Its low density and atomic weight set its phase change points.
Chlorine has a low melting point of -100.98°C and a low boiling point of -34.6°C.
When a substance reaches its melting point it changes from solid to liquid. When a substance reaches its boiling point it changes from liquid to gas.
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is also the condensation point. The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium. It is also the melting point.
The melting point is higher than the boiling point of Arsenic only because the melting point is when Arsenic is under pressure because otherwise it would sublimate, or turn directly from a solid to a gas, a the "boiling" point of 614 degrees Celsius and normal atmospheric pressures.
The meaning is at what temperature does ammonia melt at and what temperature does ammonia boil at? for eg. waters melting point is 0 degrees celcius and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius
Boiling point is the temperature point at which a liquid becomes a gas while melting point is the point at which a solid becomes a liquid.
No, it is the melting point. Ice changes to water when it melts, not when it boils.
No, at its boiling point
IT has a low boiling point ha
hydrogen
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.
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.
No, the boiling point and the melting point are not always the same. The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
