Usage Notes

Avoid confusing '融化' with similar verbs like '溶解' (rong2 jie3), which specifically means to dissolve in a liquid. '融化' is more commonly used in informal contexts, while you might encounter '溶解' in scientific discussions. Be mindful of the tones, as mispronouncing them can change the meaning.
