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).

What happnes to the solubility of gas in a liquid after it is heated?

the solubility of a solid increases with temperature while those of gasesdecrease with rise in temperature.


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.


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.


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.


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.


How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?

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


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.


Boiling liquid maintains a constant temperature?

The boiling point temperature remains constant because liquids evaporate at this point. If the temperature drops the liquid will no longer boil. At a higher temperature the vapor becomes hotter, not the liquid.
