HURRY MELT
Question
Students in a lab have tested boiling points for 10 different substances that are liquids at room temperature. They now want to study melting points. Which obstacle might they face that would prevent them from collecting data?(1 point)
Depending on the amount of each substance they have, it might take a very long time for the substances to completely melt.
Some liquids might have melting points that are far lower than room temperature.
They might collect new data that changes the average for the experiment they have completed.
Some of the liquids might melt at a temperature that is too high for the thermometers they are using.

The melting point may be far lower than room temperature.
Some of the liquids might melt at a temperature that is too high for the thermometers they are using. It's like trying to measure the cuteness of a kitten with a "meh"-ometer - it just won't work!

To determine the melting point of a substance, one would typically heat it gradually and observe at what temperature it changes from a solid to a liquid. However, if the melting point of a substance is significantly higher than the range of the thermometers being used, the students may not be able to accurately measure the melting point. In such cases, they might need to use specialized thermometers that can measure higher temperatures, or use alternative methods to determine when the substance is melting, such as visual observations or changes in physical appearance.
