What are the 6 difference between melting and boiling point?.
Answers
Answer:
1)The main difference between boiling point and melting point is that the melting point is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium, whereas the boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure
2)At the melting point, a solid becomes a liquid. but on Boiling point is the temperature at which its vapour pressure is equal to the external pressure.
3)Melting point does not change with changes in the external pressure whereas on Boiling point changes with changes in the external pressure.
4)melting point is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium, but boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure.
