Is dissolution the same as melting?

Answer 1

Basicly the difference is that melting is when a solid turns into a liquid but dissolving is when a solid kind of melts into a liquid like sugar kinda melts into the tea??????!!!!!!!! Hope that helped a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Melting is a change of state, from solid to liquid, by adding heat. Dissolving is being absorbed into an existing liquid, unrelated to the initial solid. So ice melting leaves water. Dissolving sugar into water leaves a sweet mixture.

Answer 3

Melting is changing state from a solid to a liquid as a result of a change in temperature. dissolving is cause matter to pass into solution, For example salt dissolves into water it does not melt int water.

Answer 4

Dissolving means forming a homogeneous solution by mixing a solute into a solvent in the form of solid into solid, solid into liquid, liquid into liquid, gas into liquid or gas into gas.

Melting means changing the state of matter of any substance from the solid to the liquid.

Reacting means combination of two substances to form a third substance which cannot be divided into the initial two substances via physical measures like boiling, filtration, etc.

Answer 5

No, melting is the process of heating a compound until phase change: eg. the melting of the sodium metal Na(s) --> Na(l).

Dissolution is the process of dissolving eg. a salt in a solvent - the solvent doesn't change, but the salt breaks up in ions:

Table salt in water gives brine: NaCl + H2O --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O

Answer 6

No, dissolution and melting are two different processes. Melting is the process by which a solid changes to a liquid when heat is applied, while dissolution is the process by which a solid substance forms a solution in a liquid solvent.

Answer 7

No. When something melts it changes from a solid to a liquid state.

When something is dissolved it is dispersed throughout another substance.
