Question

The melting point of gallium metal is 29.76°C If a piece of gallium is sliced into three parts, the melting point will be:

A. higher than 29.76°C
B. 29.76°C
C. lower than 29.76°C

​

Answer 1

Answer: B. 29.76°C

Explanation:

The melting point is known as an intensive property of matter. This means the melting point is not affected by the amount of mass. Whether the metal is really large or small, the melting point of gallium (Ga) is roughly 29.76 degrees Celsius.
