Why matters like woods can not be liquefied?
Answer:
Liquefying solid matters is done either my melting it with a high temperature or then to make a solution (with water, alcohol or others) and dissolve the solid matter in that liquid.
If you heat wood it will burn - if you try to dissolve it in alcohol or water it will show up as not solvable.
Wood can be liquified. Otherwise, paper couldn't be made.
Wood isn't really liquified. The end result isn't really liquid wood. What happens is the wood is split into such small particles that they can be suspended in liquid which makes them appear liquid.
well i think it is hard to dissolve by any chemical n if dissolve also it cant remain stable for long it undergoes chemical changes n gets detoriated.
liquefying a solid requires high temperatures and low pressure. the other problem is, that some material decompose or burns before their melting point is reached. it is a matter of thermal stability of the material in question. generally organic things are hard to liquefy, because of their complex structure and low thermal stability-the burn readily too.
Liquefaction of solids in general requires raising the temperature of the matter to a level above the melting point of the matter so that in can turn into liquid after melting. However, materials like wood can not be liquefied due to the following reasons :
- Wood is not a single compound but a mixture of a number of compounds having different melting points.
- The inter and intra molecular forces existing in a piece of wood can not be overcome by heatng, however, when the temperature rises above the ignition temperature, the wood gets converted to fire.
