heptadecane mp ~21C, caprylic acid 16-17C, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) 18.5C. coconut oil mp~24-25C. As far as toxicity goes, heptadecane is probably like gasoline/diesel. caprylic acid is a fatty acid slightly corrosive avoid eye or skin contact, DMSO not bad by itself, but readily absorbed through skin and can take toxic chemicals through your skin, so have a care if you are using it around other chemicals. Coconut oil, well, people eat it on popcorn and cook with it, so it is probably the least toxic of everything I can think of. As with all things I advise you to look up these on a MSDS (material safety data sheet) for more info. Hope this helps. heptadecane mp ~21C, caprylic acid 16-17C, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) 18.5C. coconut oil mp~24-25C.

Which of the following is true about the melting point of potassium chloride?
The melting teperature is relatively high
Why the melting and boiling point of covalent compound are low?
Compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds have relatively low melting and boiling points because covalent bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, and it is the bonds which hold materials together in the solid, or more solid phases.
What effect in dissolving does temperature have?
If you mean melting... different metals and materials have different temperatures that they melt at, called their Melting Point.
Why do different materials have different melting points?
The melting point depends on the strengths of the forces between the particles. Different substances have different strengths and types of force.
Does sugar melt when heated?
Yes, sugar has a relatively low melting point at 366.8° F (186° C).
Is it advisable to use the temperature of solidification as the melting point of a solid?
The melting point is a specific physical property of all materials; knowing the melting point we can distinguish between different materials.
Does tin have a high or low melting point?
Tin has a relatively low melting point, at 231.93oC, or 449.47oF.
What are melting point and boiling point properties of?
materials
What is difference between melting point and drop melting point?
No basic Difference between melting point and Drop point.
Why can i use the melting point to help to identify a material?
Melting point is a specific property of materials.
Are freezing and melting points characteristic properties?
The melting point (or freezing point) is a characteristic for materials.
Which of the following is true about the melting point of potassium chloride?
The melting teperature is relatively high
Does wax have a high melting point?
It has a melting point between 31 degrees Celsius and 80 degrees Celsius, depending on the materials used.
What type of solids has a relatively low melting point?
molecular solid
Do solids have a high or low melting point?
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
A metal with a relatively low melting point used in fire decetion?
Bismuth
Are melting and freezing point of Platinum are same?
Yes the melting temperature and the freezing temperature of materials are the same.
