It depends on the material. Each material has its own point at which it turns from solid to liquid (or vice versa), and this temperature can change under certain conditions. To use a common example, water typically turns solid (freezes) at 0 degrees C. However, under the right conditions, it can be supercooled down to -42 C before freezing. Similarly, if kept under pressure, water can be superheated, and it will stay liquid instead of turning into a gas (water vapor).

Does solid to liquid rise in temperature?

Yes, when a solid is heated, its temperature increases as it absorbs heat energy. Once the solid reaches its melting point, it transitions into a liquid phase without a further increase in temperature until all the solid has melted.


Why does when solid changes to liquid there is a continuous increase of temperature?

When a solid changes to a liquid, the temperature increases continuously because heat energy is being absorbed by the substance. This energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid's structure together, allowing the molecules to move more freely in the liquid state. As more heat is added, the temperature continues to rise until the entire solid has transformed into a liquid, at which point the temperature stabilizes until further heating occurs.


How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?

As the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid will decrease.


When solid gets hot what happens to it?

When a solid gets hot, its particles gain energy and begin to vibrate more vigorously. As the temperature increases, these vibrations can cause the solid to expand. If the temperature continues to rise, the solid may eventually reach its melting point, at which point it transitions into a liquid state.


What happens when matter changes from liquid to solid?

As matter changes from solid to liquid (in other words when solid matter melts) the temperature remains constant. After all the solid has melted, the temperature of the matter may begin to rise again if the environment is warmer than the melting point of the solid.

Ancient methods of get liquid mercury in to solid?

The ancient method of getting liquid mercury in to solid is like this. They will put the solid thing by subjecting it in a high temperature. As temperature arises mercury would rise too. And they will collect it. But it is too dangerous. They might be poisoned.


Does the temperature of a solid change when is starts melting?

No, the temperature of a solid remains constant as it melts. The energy added to the solid is used to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, rather than increase its temperature. This process is known as the latent heat of fusion.

How does temperature vary when a substance changes from solid to liquid?

When heat is applied to a solid, its temperature rises until it reaches the melting point of the substance. As the heat application continues, the temperature remains constant at the melting point as all of the heat is consumed in changing the state of the substance from solid to liquid. It is only after the conversion to liquid is complete that the temperature of the substance again starts to rise as long as heat is still being applied.


What makes a liquid a solid?

a loss in energy cause the change from liquid to solid like-wise a rise in energy causes a change from solid to liquid.


When the temperature finally starts to rise what state is the H2O in Solid Liquid gas plasma or a combination of these?

When the temperature rises, solid ice will melt into liquid water. As the temperature continues to increase, the liquid water will eventually vaporize into water vapor, becoming a gas. At no point in this process does water undergo a phase change to plasma.


How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?

As the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid will decrease.
