Melting Point: Navigation Search Melting Freezing Crystallization

The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure. At the melting point, the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point depends slightly on pressure and is usually specified at standard pressure.

Melting point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the physical processes that takes place at the melting point, see Melting, Freezing and Crystallization. The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends (usually slightly) on pressure and is usually specified atstandard pressure. When considered as the temperature of the reverse change from liquid to solid, it is referred to as the freezing point or crystallization point. Because of the ability of some substances to supercool, the freezing point is not considered as a characteristic property of a substance. When the "characteristic freezing point" of a substance is determined, in fact the actual methodology is almost always "the principle of observing the disappearance rather than the formation of ice", that is, the melting point.[1]
