So, if dissolving requires another liquid, then the Wicked Witch didn't melt, she dissolved. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 2, 09:33 9
- but (not to add to this) didn't she melt onto solid ground? i thought it would be considered dissolving if it was into a liquid. -- nm - kare Sep 2, 09:34 2
  - dorothy threw water on her, yes? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:35 1
    - hmm. -- nm - kare Sep 2, 09:37

- excessive drinking can lead to reflux which can increase risks for esophageal cancer. -- nm - sycor Sep 2, 09:24 5
  - *looks around knowingly* SEE!! -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Sep 2, 09:33

- *posts a response on FB* - Jax s.i. Sep 2, 09:19
- the sugar doesn't melt, the marshmallow does. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:18 1
  - I say: They both dissolve. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:18
- Jeopardy fail! -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Sep 2, 09:15
- i think of it as melting. - kare Sep 2, 09:14 1
  - it does melt when you make candy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:15
- semantics -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 09:13 41
  - not really. - Reagen Sep 2, 09:18 1
    - we're going cod fishing? -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 09:23
  - basic chemistry FAIL. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:15 38
    - eyeroll. -- nm - kare Sep 2, 09:17 37
      - seriously, it's not semantics at all. it's completely different. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:17 36
        
        melt goes from solid to liquid. dissolves is when it disappers. right? -- nm - lileve Sep 2, 09:19 10
        
        dissolve is when it breaks apart in a liquid. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:19 9
        
        Then they are both the same I think. I have no clue. -- nm - lileve Sep 2, 09:20 8
        
        they're completely different. Dissolving requires another liquid, melting does not. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:21 7
        
        I'm curious. on a hot plate, would a marshmallow melt or combust first? -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:22 6
        
        I'm pretty sure melting comes before combusting in any situation. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:23 5
        
        do you mean for sugar, or anything? - Reagen Sep 2, 09:25 2
        
        I was thinking only of the marshmallow. - loosilu Sep 2, 09:25 1
        
        great, now I'm going to spend the rest of the day thinking about marshmallows. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:26
        
        *tries to melt a piece of wood* -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:23 1
        
        ah, good point, although I was thinking of the marshmallow. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:24
        
        and you did not get fired, you got dismissed. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 09:19 21
        
        it really is two different things. - Reagen Sep 2, 09:20 18
        
        while i have learned something new today, i'm still a little "c'mon!" - kare Sep 2, 09:22 11
        
        if you ever took chemistry it wouldn't seem nitpicky. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:25 10
        
        I took chemistry and kare's right...it is annoying. -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 09:26
        
        I took chemistry. - groiny Sep 2, 09:26 8
        
        Maybe it is not nitpicky - amoxy Sep 2, 09:28
        
        it seriously is not. - Reagen Sep 2, 09:26 6
        
        if we were splitting ions or something, I would agree. - groiny Sep 2, 09:28 1
        
        the same thing is happening in this case. (this is why chemistry is awesome) -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 09:30
        
        thank you. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:27
        
        It is, however, annoying. Which is the word kare used. (she didn't say nitpicky.) -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 09:27 2

        when I have put marshmallows in coffee, it leaves a film on the top of the coffee. - groiny Sep 2, 09:21 5
        
        marshmallows aren't 100% sugar. There'll be some insoluable things in there - Reagen Sep 2, 09:23
        
        it doesn't leave nothing. the film is probably from the proteins in the gelatin. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:22 3
        
        the gelatin comes from the marshmallow? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 09:22 2
        
        marshmallows are made of gelatin and sugar. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:23 1
        
        and awesomeness -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 09:24
