what are melting point and boiling point? what do they denote? state the melting point of ice and boiling point of water?
Answers
A melting point of a substance denotes the amount of energy required to break it's molecules and becomes aquaeous and boiling point is the energy to turn into gaseous form.
Melting point of ice is- 32° F
Boiling point of water- 212° F
The melting point of a material is the temperature at which a solid turns or melts into liquid.
This change is brought about by atmospheric pressure. For any substance, the melting and freezing points are the same.The boiling point of any material is the temperature at which the liquid turns or boils and forms gas.
It is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure surrounding the liquid and so it turns into gas.
The melting point of ice is 0 degree celcius or 32 degree Fahrenheit.
The boiling point of water is 100 degress celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit at 1 atmospheric pressure.
