A substance that melts at room temperature is described as a "melting point" material, typically classified as a solid that transitions to a liquid state at temperatures around 20-25 degrees Celsius (68-77 degrees Fahrenheit). Examples include certain fatty acids and some waxes. These substances can exhibit unique properties, such as being malleable or pliable when in their liquid form.

At room temeperature a substance with a melting point of 40 degrees celsius is?

know you then, only one substance 40 degress celsius melts, yes?


What is a substance that is malleable and is a solid at room temperature?

How about I tell you what substance is not a solid metal at room temperature. Mercury Everything else is a solid metal at room temperature.


How does a substance's boiling point determine its state at room temperature?

A substance's boiling point indicates the temperature at which it transitions from a liquid to a gas. If the substance's boiling point is below room temperature, it will be a gas at room temperature. If the boiling point is above room temperature, it will be a liquid at room temperature.


The melting points of 2 substances A and B are 280K and 320K respectively which out of the 2 is a liquid at room temperature?

Celsius is the same scale as Kelvin, except 0°C = 273.15°K, so 280°K = 6.85°C, and 320°K = 46.85°C. If you live in the US, that's about 44°F and 116°F, respectively; now I don't know where the other answerer lives, but 46.8°C/116°F is a bit above room temperature to me, so I'd say the substance that melts at 280°K would be a liquid at room temperature, while the substance that melts at 320°K would still be quite solid.


Is mercury the only metal liquid at room temperature?

No, gallium and cesium are also metals that are liquid at or near room temperature. Gallium melts at 29.76°C, while cesium melts at 28.5°C.

What will happen if the ignition temperature is lower than the room temperature?

If the ignition temperature is lower than the room temperature, the substance will not ignite or burn spontaneously at room temperature. Ignition temperature refers to the minimum temperature required for a substance to ignite and sustain combustion, so if it is lower than the room temperature, the substance will remain stable at that temperature.
