What must the melting point of the mold be compared to the temperature at which glass gets soft and why?
The melting point of the mold must be higher than the melting point of glass, or else it would not be able to hold the soft glass in the correct shape.
Why substances have different melting points?
just because accept it ok!
As you go to higher elevations above sea level the boiling point of water?
as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.
Which has a higher melting point LiF or MgF2?
MgF2 is higher that LiF do to the greater bond strength in MgF2. This greater strength is indicated by the charge of Mg (+3) which is higher than the +2 charge of Li. Also the MgF2 is larger in mass.
What is the melting point of nylon 6?
Hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen and the hydrogen on the amine group make it more difficult to break up Nylons, thus higher melting temperature than other polymers. this answer was copied from ID2176515335
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
What has a higher melting point iron or granite?
Granite has a higher melting point than iron.
Is the melting point of Xenon higher than the melting point of Helium?
Yes
Is the melting point of bromine higher or lower than the melting point of chlorine?
The melting point of bromine is -7,2 0C. The melting point of chlorine is -101,5 0C.
Is boiling point higher than melting point?
they are the same... dont know who wrote this but it can be the same such as dry ice, or different such as water. however boiling point will sometimes be higher than melting point
Is the melting point of sodium higher or lower than rubidium?
Sodium has a melting point of 97.72 oC and rubidium has a melting point of 39.48 oC.
Is there a metal with a higher melting point than gold?
Tungsten. It has high melting point than gold because it is used in lightbulb.
Does baking soda have a higher melting point than ethanol?
Yes it does, its melting point is 179 degrees Celsius
Is the temperature of the inner core higher or lower than its melting point?
higher
Why does water have a higher melting point than oxygen?
Water has a high melting point and boiling point because of hydrogen bonds
Why fast rate of heating gives higher melting and boiling point than the true one?
Because the temperature is higher hence make the boiling and melting point higher.
Does rubidium have a higher melting point than potassium?
LOWER
