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.

Use of knowing the melting point of solid?
The melting point is a specific physical property of all materials; knowing the melting point we can distinguish between different materials.
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 Covalent Compound Has A Low Melting Point?
water has a relatively low melting and boiling point
What is the temperature called at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is called the melting point (symbol Tm).The melting point is different for different elements, compounds, and materials. Some solids, wax for example, has a relatively low melting point, while the melting point of some alloys, such as steel, is very high. The melting point of ice is the freezing point of water, subject to the enthalpy of fusion (the heat of fusion).
What is difference between melting point and drop melting point?
No basic Difference between melting point and Drop point.

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.
What is the melting point of fat?
The melting point of fat is a relatively low melting point of 184 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it is melted it changed from a solid to a liquid in the form of oil.
What is the use of knowing the melting point of solid?
- the melting point is specific; we can identify compounds or elements knowing the melting point - the melting point is extremely important in technology, we need to know the behavior of materials under heating
What type of solid has a relatively low melting point?
molecular solid
Why does sodium chloride have a very high melting point but ice has a low melting point?

Factors affecting melting point?
Melting points of materials are affected mainly by one thing and that is the purity. It is impossible to raise the melting point, but it is possible to depress the range, that is the point at which it will begin to melt.

What is the relationship between a materials freezing point and its melting point?
It is the same thing. A melting point or freezing point is when a "material's" temperature stays the same. Then you can decide whether you want to freeze it or melt it by increasing or lowering the temperature.------Thats how my science teacher tought us.
What is the difference between melting point and melting range?
Melting point is a specific and unique temperature for a material; melting range is an interval of temperature.
What is the difference between melting and melting point?
Melting: change of phase, from solid to liquid Melting point: the temperature that this change phase happens
