The melting point of a solid may be defined as the temperature when both solid and liquid phases coexist. How would you define the boiling point of a substance? Explain the relationship between 'vapor pressure' and the common phases 'solid', 'liquid', and 'gas'. ...
<p><strong>Step-by-Step Text Solution:</strong></p><p>1. <strong>Understanding State Changes</strong>: The melting point is associated with the change of a substance from a solid state to a liquid state. </p><p>2. <strong>Defining Melting Point</strong>:
Changes in the freezing point and boiling point of a solution depend primarily on the number of solute particles present rather than the kind of particles. Such properties of solutions are called colligative properties (from the Latin colligatus, meaning “bound together” as in a quantity). What...
To break an atom would require the cleavage of the nuclear forces, which are very strong. Atoms combine to form molecules, which eventually combine to form everything in the universe.Answer and Explanation: A physical change is a change to the physical properties of a substance, but the chemi...
