The figure given above shhows the tempreture (T)-time (t) plot when we start heating a piece of naphthalene . The temperature (T*) at the plateau of the curve signifies

A

boiling point ofnaphthalene

B

freezing point of naphthalene

C

melting point of naphthalene.

D

the temperature when naphthalene undergoes a chemical change upon heatmg.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which its state changes from solid to liquid. Melting point of naphthalene is `80.26^@C`.
