Which of the following substances has
a higher melting point than water?
a salt
b sugar
c flour
d all of the above

D all of the above

Explanation:

Melting point represents the exact temperature at which the solid state changes to the liquid of a given substance. Water is one of the most commonly used elements to exemplify the melting point principle. For this solid state (ice) to take the form of liquid water, it must be exposed to a temperature of at least 0 °C. Thus, the melting point of water is equal to 0 °C.

The salt has a melting point of 801 ° C, the melting point of sugar is 185 ° C and the melting point of flour is 264 ° C. From this we can see that all these products have a higher melting point than water.

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
