The substance would be in a liquid and gas state, this would be due to vaporization that is happening during boiling.

What do boiling point and melting point have to do with the phase of matter of an element at room temperature?

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.


What point does it become a liquid?

The boiling point of a substance is the point at which that substance will change between being a gas and a liquid. For example, the boiling point of water is 100oC, so water vapour will change to water at this temperature. The boiling point of Methane is -161oC, so any temperature above this, Methane will be in gas form.


Is the boiling point of a substance a physicsl property?

No, the boiling point is a physical property because the compound or substance is not changing chemically (only physically from a liquid to a gas). The boiling point is considered the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid. All of these are physical properties, making the boiling point a physical property too.


Why fast rate of heating gives higher melting and boiling point than the true one?

A fast rate of heating can cause the temperature to rise quickly, potentially exceeding the actual melting or boiling point of the substance before it has had time to equilibrate throughout. This can make it seem like the substance has a higher melting or boiling point than it actually does, as it has not fully transitioned to the liquid or gaseous state due to the rapid temperature increase.


Is a characteristic a boiling point?

A characteristic for the boiling point is that the substance start changing state.

What change of state occurs when a substance reaches it's melting point. What occurs when it reaches it's boiling point?

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.


Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?

A melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state, while a boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Both melting and boiling points are characteristic physical properties of a substance and can be used to identify and classify materials.

Is boiling point is always same as the melting point?

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.


What is the temperature of a substance when it turns into another state of matter?

The temperature at which a substance changes state is called its melting point or boiling point, depending on the transition. For example, when a solid turns into a liquid, it reaches its melting point; when a liquid turns into a gas, it reaches its boiling point.


How do you identify the change of state a substance is undergoing?

through it's boiling, melting, and freezing point.


What is the physical state of substance with a melting point of 13 degree celsius and boiling point of 60 degree celsius?

liquid


Short difference between melting and boiling point?

Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid state, while boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to gas state. Melting occurs when the intermolecular forces holding solids together are overcome, whereas boiling involves the breaking of intermolecular forces within the liquid to form a gas.


Are melting and boiling points of a substance the same?

The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".


What point does it become a liquid?

The boiling point of a substance is the point at which that substance will change between being a gas and a liquid. For example, the boiling point of water is 100oC, so water vapour will change to water at this temperature. The boiling point of Methane is -161oC, so any temperature above this, Methane will be in gas form.


How does knowing the melting and boiling point of matter help you determine its state?

Knowing the melting and boiling points of a substance helps you determine its state because these points correspond to specific temperature ranges at which the substance transitions between different states of matter. The melting point indicates the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid, while the boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. By observing at which temperature these transitions occur, you can identify the state of the matter.


Why are the melting point and boiling point of the same matter different?

Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a gas, while melting point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a liquid state from a solid state. The boiling point is always a higher temperature then the melting point. The melting point has a substance turn into a liquid from solid, and boiling point has a liquid turn into a gas.
