Introduction

In this lesson: I can measure the melting point and freezing point of a substance. When it melts, a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. When it freezes, a substance changes from the liquid state to the solid state.

Show transcript
When it melts, a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. When it freezes, a substance changes from the liquid state to the solid state. At temperatures below its melting point, a substance is in its solid state. At temperatures above its freezing point, a substance is in its liquid state. The melting point and freezing point of a pure substance are the same temperature.

  4. 4. What is the primary reason that a substance in the solid state does not flow like a substance in the liquid state?

    • The particles are too large
    • The particles are too small
    • Correct answer:The forces of attraction between particles are stronger
  1. 1. At what point is a substance in its solid state?

    • Above its melting point
    • Correct answer:Below its melting point
    • Above its freezing point

  3. 3. A substance has a melting/freezing point of 25°C. If a sample of this substance is in a container at 25°C, which of the following statements is most accurate?

    • The substance must be entirely in the solid state.
    • The substance must be entirely in the liquid state.
    • Correct answer:The substance could be in the solid or liquid state, or both simultaneously.
