The change of a solid to a liquid (melting) depends on the solid and the amount of heat applied. If you apply enough heat to or above the melting point for that specific matter, it will melt or in rarer cases, sublimate

Does soap melt?

If it is in a solid form and you heat it to melting point.....yes


What is meant by the heat of fusion or substance?

That's the amount of heat you have to add to the solid form at the melting temperature in order to melt it to the liquid form at the same temperature. Looking at it the other way: It's the amount of heat you have to remove from the liquid at the freezing temperature in order to freeze it solid at the same temperature.


Is heat added or released during freezing?

This is latent heat. When a liquid freezes heat is released, and when it melts the same amount of energy must be supplied. Similarly when a liquid changes to a vapor, or when a vapor condenses, heat must be supplied or is released. Latent heat varies from one substance to another, and can be quantified as so many calories per gram or kilogram, you can find data in reference tables


A beaker has full of ice. heat it and the ice will melt. measure the temperature and why is the temperature that?

I'm assuming you mean immediately after going from solid to liquid. 0 degrees centigrade, 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the same temperature as when it was a solid because all the heat energy the ice absorbed went into the phase change.


What is latent heat of sublimation?

When a substance is below the triple point, the equilibrium will be between solid and vapor rather than solid/liquid or liquid/vapor. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to vapor without any intermediate phase change. The latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a given quantity of solid into the vapor at equilibrium. It is analogous to (but not the same as) latent heat of melting (energy required to melt the solid to liquid) and latent heat of vaporization (energy required to change a liquid into a gas).


Why can't ice melt in cold water?

No heat so it cant melt like the warm water. they are the same temp/.


What is the difference in crystallization and melting in Geology?

They're the same. latent heat of fusion - heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature latent heat of solidification - heat liberated by a unit mass of liquid at its freezing point when it solidifies


Which way does heat go when ice is put on it?

The heat would either melt the ice or get to the same temperature as the ice


Why can't ice melt faster in cold water?

No heat so it cant melt like the warm water. they are the same temp/.


Are play dough solid of liquid explain why?

solid because if its a liquid in high tempreture it will melt and become water but as solid in high tempreture it will stay the same ahape


What is the latent heat of fusion?

The amount of energy it takes to boil a substance


Will an ice cube melt faster in water or with applied heat?

same speed but heat may speed a little bit
