It is the temperature scale value "-40" degrees.
This point is call the "triple point" and this is where all three lines meet together on the phase diagram.
The observed melting point of copper (II) oxalate may not meet the theoretical value due to impurities in the sample or incomplete reaction during preparation. Factors such as water content, incomplete conversion of starting materials, or presence of unreacted starting materials can influence the melting point. It is essential to ensure purity of reagents, control reaction conditions, and thoroughly dry the product to accurately determine the melting point.
Metals used in fuses must have a low melting point so they can easily melt when there is an overload. They also need to have high electrical conductivity to ensure efficient flow of current.
The triple point of a phase diagram is the location where the solid, liquid, and gas phases meet; it is the temperature and pressure at which a given substance can assume any of the 3 usual phases of matter.
There is a difference between where the two lines meet and where the greatest tempurature change is... think about it... the two lines do not meet where the greatest tempurature change is, the two lines meet where the greatest amount of heat is given off...
The scales of temperature cannot all meet, as the Kelvin and Celsius scales have the same size degrees but different zero points. Absolute Zero is 0° Kelvin, and equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F. Because the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are offset by 32° at their starting points (freezing point of water), the two scales do have a common numerical point at -40° (minus 40 degrees). (see related question)
-40 F = -40 C. -40 is the point where the two scales "meet".

The Kelvin scale begins at absolute zero (-459.67 °F), but because the Kelvin/Celsius degree intervals are larger, eventually the two scales will intersect. This occurs at 574.5875 K or 574.5875 °F, a temperature equal to 301.4375 °C . Calculation The formula T(K) = T(F) as expressed in C(Celsius). C + 273.15 = (9/5 C) +32 4/5 C = 241.15 C = 301.4375° (574.5875 K and 574.5875 °F )
It is a pure coincidence. Nothing special.
The point at which the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet is -40 degrees. -40 degrees Celsius is equal to -40 x 9 = -360 / 5 = -72 + 32 = -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The scales of degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit are equivalent at -40 degrees.
-40 C is -40 F: it is the point where the scales meet.
-40 A lot of people like to use this as a trick question. -40 is where the two scales meet.
Was that on purpose? Because it just so happens that -40 is where the two meet! -40 degrees Celsius = -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Was that on purpose? Because it just so happens that -40 is where the two meet! -40 degrees Celsius = -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Kelvin and Celsius scales of temperature cannot meet, as they have the same size degrees but different zero points. Absolute Zero is 0° Kelvin, and equal to -273.15 °C , so the temperatures in Kelvin will always be 273.15 degrees larger than the same temperatures expressed in Celsius.
Because the relation is 9/5 C + 32 = F; if you let F = C you find the point they are the same: -40F = -40C
