Difference between Melting point and Freezing point
Difference between Melting point and Freezing point are in tabular form below –
Melting point |
Freezing point |
1) A melting point is Termed for the temperature On which a solid Converted into liquid. | Freezing point is termed for the temperature On which the liquid Converted into solid. |
2) Pure, crystalline solid have characteristic of melting point. | Liquid have a characteristic of a freezing point. |
3) Matter come in different states, the different forms and phases that are Assumed, comes in a solid state which give it fixed volume and shape. | in a freezing point it, give a fixed volume but does not have a definite shape and it has to adopt to the shape of the containers. |
4) The melting point of a substance depends on the standard atmospheric pressure. | in freezing point pressure show a miner effect on a substance. |
5) The melting point of a substance is the basis for the determination of its purity and the identification of compounds. | The freezing point of a substance is not basis for the determination of it’s purity and the identification of compound. |
6) The melting point of a substance is a characteristic property. | the Freezing point of a substance have considered a characteristic property because there are substance that can be supercooled ar cooled beyond the freezing point without the formation of solid crystals. |
7) Melting point in a solid state, gives it a fixed volume and shape. | Freezing Point of liquid, give it definite volume but do not give a defined shaped. |
8) Example of melting point : The melting point of solid oxygen is -218.4 Degree celsius. | Example of freezing point : Supercooled liquid can be made by heating (NoCH3CO2) |
