does the melting point of a substance change over time
Strontium has a relatively low melting point compared to other metals. It melts at 769 degrees Celsius (1416 degrees Fahrenheit).
1. Check the melting point or boiling point of the substance. E.g. it is known that the boiling point of water is 100 degree celcius. It a sample of water boils are 101 degree celcius, the sample is impure. 2. Check if melting or boiling occur over a range of temperatures. E.g. if water boils from 101 to 103 degree celcius, then it is impure because pure water boil exactly at 100 degree celcius. 3. Perform paper chromatography. If the sample has only one spot on the chomatogram then it is pure substance.
The melting point of ceramics varies depending on the specific type of ceramic material. Generally, ceramics have high melting points ranging from 1400°C to over 3000°C. For example, alumina (aluminum oxide) has a melting point of around 2072°C, while silicon carbide has a melting point of around 2700°C.
The melting point of copper is 1084,62 0C. Diamond burn on heating in air; under pressure of a inert gas the melting point may be approx. 4 000 0C. This depends on the type of glass; also glass hasn't a true melting point. Glasses are melted over 400 0C.

It is incorrect to speak of a "melting point" because melting is a process, not a specific point. Instead, we should refer to the melting range, which indicates the range of temperatures over which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
A melting point is often given as a range because impurities, uneven heating, and other factors can cause the substance to melt over a range of temperatures rather than at a single, precise temperature. The range indicates that the substance begins to melt at the lower end and is completely melted at the upper end of the range.
Silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide silica is the mineral quartz and is a giant molecule with a melting point of over 16000C. Methanol is a molecular compound (an alcohol) with a melting point of -980C
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 is the temperature at which a solid substance transitions into a liquid state. It is a well-defined temperature at which the substance changes phase. Slip melting point, on the other hand, is a more specific term used in the context of fats and oils. It refers to the temperature at which a fat or oil starts to flow under a specific load or pressure, indicating its suitability for certain applications like cooking or baking. In essence, while melting point is a general term for all substances, slip melting point is a more specialized concept within the realm of fats and oils.
Because of phase transition ie from solid to liquid during melting and from liquid to vapour during boiling. So just to change over from one phase to the other heat is totally utilized and hence no chance to have a rise in temperature. So temperature remains constant.
Melting and freezing points are both physical properties of a substance related to its phase change from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to solid (freezing) at a specific temperature. These points are the same temperature for a pure substance under constant pressure and can be used to identify and characterize substances.
Water remains a liquid over a large temperature range.
Melting point s can be "sharp" where the phase change occurs at a particular temperature, or the solid may soften and then melt over a range of temperatures. Conventionally melting point refers to the sharp melting point, and this is exhibited by pure chemical compounds that do not decompose. Slip melting point usually refers to a technique for measuring the point at which a waxy solid "slips" in a tube -waxy solids such as hydrocarbons produced from petroleum oil are mixture and melt over a range and this is near reproducible way of obtaining a diagnostic single "melt" temperature for the mixture.
the freezing point is 0 degrees celsius and the melting point is is above 0 degrees celsius
The melting point is not changed by pressure. It is still over 32O
