This book is non-fiction and tells many different stories about how brands, companies, and even TV shows hit a tipping point and the many reasons why.

The book The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, looks at how small choices can impact big ones.

Tipping Point, has become a fad in recent years.

The fourteenth point set up an international organization dedicated to maintaining

The phenomenon of freezing point depression has many practical uses. The radiator fluid in an automobile is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (antifreeze). As a result of freezing point depression, radiators do not freeze in winter (unless it is extremely cold, e.g. −30 to −40 °C (−22 to −40 °F)). Road salting takes advantage of this effect to lower the freezing point of the ice it is placed on. Lowering the freezing point allows the street ice to melt at lower temperatures, preventing the accumulation

Introduction: The melting point of a pure substance is a characteristic that is physically consistent with each specific substance. When a substance is impure, it causes the melting point to decrease and the range of the melting point to increase. In order to identify a pure substance, it must be purified in order to get an accurate melting point estimation. Purification can be done through crystallization. Crystallization is one of the simplest and most effecting ways to purify a solid. The procedure

“[A] “Turning point” is not a formal concept but a metaphor [that marks] when we cease to go along the same road...and instead head off in some different direction,” (89).
