B And M Points Flashcards
Melting point of a pure substance
Is the constant temperature at which the solid changes to its liquid, the substance melts. The temperature of a pure substance remains constant while it changes phase until a of the substance has changed phase like from a solid to liquid. It melts and freeze at the same fixed temperature. It’s recorded at a single number.
Impure substances/mixture
Melt at a range of temperature. The melting point is recorded as the temperature at which the first few drops of liquid appear.
The freezing point is recorded at a temperature at which the first piece of solid is seen when the liquid is cooling.
How to determine which state a substance is according to the table given with melting and boiling point values
The room temperature is 20 degrees.
Draw a time line with all the values and the between the value is the phase.
Boiling point of a pure substance
Temperature at which a pure substance boils and the condensation point is the temperature at which vapor /gas condenses to become a liquid again. The boiling point of a pure substance is the same temperature as it’s condensation point.
Solutions consisting of more than one substance have more than one
Bing point as it’s individual constituents of a mixture/solution retain their physical and chemical properties.
Alloy
Mixture of different elements
