Sulatuspistettä

Sulatuspistettä, also known as the melting point, is a fundamental physical property of a substance that refers to the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid state. This transition occurs at a specific temperature and pressure, and it is a characteristic that can be used to identify and classify substances. The melting point is influenced by factors such as the strength of intermolecular forces, the molecular structure, and the purity of the substance. For example, water has a melting point of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. The melting point is an important parameter in various fields, including chemistry, materials science, and engineering, as it provides insights into the behavior and properties of materials under different conditions.
