The boiling point is more sensitive to pressure than the melting point due to the fluidity of liquid. Liquids move around more when pressure is placed on them, as they're already moving around naturally without the extra pressure.

What processes is most affected by pressure freezing or boiling or melting?

Boiling and freezing points of a substance are affected by pressure. An increase in pressure raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of a substance. Melting point is not significantly affected by pressure.


Is freezing boiling or melting most affected by pressure?

Boiling point is most affected by pressure. Note that freezing point and melting point are in fact the same.

For any pure substance the boiling point and melting point will always remain?

The melting point and the boiling point of a substance are physical characteristics for each substance and are unchanged at the same pressure.


Is the boiling point of something the same as the melting point?

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is also the condensation point. The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium. It is also the melting point.


How you can measure the boiling point or melting point of carbon?

Melting point and boiling point of Garnet?

what is the melting point of spessartite garnets under normal atmospheric pressure, and what would be the melting point and the fusion point of spessartite under 2000 psi.


How is the centigrade scale derived?

The centigrade scale is based on the melting and boiling points of pure water at 1 atmosphere of pressure. 0oC is the melting point and 100oC is the boiling point.


Does boiling point and melting point occur at the same temperature?

It depends on the substance and the pressure. For most substances at atmospheric pressure, the boiling point is much higher than the melting point. However, some things, like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, do not have any liquid phase at atmospheric pressure--they go directly from solid to gas and vice-versa.
