Its melting point is 17 °C.

Its melting point is 15 °C.

The substance sublimes at 15 °C.

The substance exists as a gas at 17 °C.


(This is science)

Answer 1

A

Explanation: this is science and I'm like dis guy

Answer 2

Its melting point is 17 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium.

So, the melting point is 17 °C.

And this is shown in the figure attached.
