What should be done if when taking the melting point of a compound it disappears?

In actual melting is the process of solid state changing to its liquid state.
While taking the melting point of a compound to the solid state temparature is raised and the temperature is noted at the point where the solid turns to liquid.
If this doesn't happen and the solid dissapears with out changing to liquid,it means that it is directly converted to gaseous state in which the process is called sublimation and the temperature at that point is called sublimation point.
In such cases the pressure of the system should be altered in such a way that while rising the temperature of the system it first turns to liquid and then to gaseous state.

Does melting ice make the water around it warmer or colder?
makes it colder since the ice that is melting is taking the heat in from the water around it to cause it to melt that is why you put ice in your ice water and it gets colder
What word does not belong in the group with the other words uranium salt boron hydrogen?
First of all, don't ask us the questions in your homework. Secondly, you should be able to tell which three are elements and which is a compound. If not, you probably shouldn't be taking a chemistry class.
What is misleading with the term melting point?
The term "melting point" is misleading because the melting point is dependent on both the amount pressure and heat applied. At 1 atm (atmosphere), the melting point is called the "normal melting point." The amount of heat necessary to melt a substance at it's normal melting point is consistent with the substance's generally accepted melting point; like 0ºC for H2O. When the amount of pressure is changed, the amount of heat necessary to melt the substance also changes, therefore completely altering the melting point of said substance. For example, 1 atm is usually found at sea level, so the amount of heat having to be added to a substance to melt it at that altitude is equal to it's normal melting point. When attempting to melt the same substance at higher altitudes, (higher altitudes will contain more than 1 atm of pressure) the substance will not require as much heat as it did while melting at sea level. As previously mentioned, H2O converts from ice into water at 0ºC while under 1 atm of pressure (normal melting point). However, in an altitude of 10,000ft the melting point of H2O may change to something like -6ºC opposed to the generally accepted 0ºc. Tl;dr- The term "melting point" is misleading, because it leads us to believe that the melting point will always be consistent in a substance. However, in reality the "melting point" is only consistent to a given amount of pressure the substance is undergoing. *atm (atmosphere) is a unit of measurement to convey a given amount of pressure. It's usually is used to convey the amount of pressure in altitudes.
The melting point of bromine is -7 degrees Celsius What is this melting point expressed in degrees Fahrenheit?
Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32In this case, the answer is about 19.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

How long after taking birth control for the first time should it make you nauseated?
The nausea side effect usually disappears before the end of the third cycle. If it lasts longer or is a big problem, talk with your health care provider about changing pills.
What one takes longer melting or evaporation?
The speed of both melting and evaporation depends upon the substance in question (you are probably thinking about water) and the temperature at which these phase changes are taking place. My own observation is that melting is usually faster than evaporation.
Is coal gas a mixture or a compound?
A mixture as the is no chemical reaction taking place
Is taking butter melting a physical or chemical change?
A physical change
Is self-evident a compound word?
yes (the answer's self-evident if you're taking the exam)
Does melting ice make the water around it warmer or colder?
makes it colder since the ice that is melting is taking the heat in from the water around it to cause it to melt that is why you put ice in your ice water and it gets colder
What formula can be used to calculate how much additional energy is needed to reach the melting point of stainless steel taking ambient temperature into account?
You simply subtract the melting point of steel, minus the ambient temperature.
