Question

1. Although mercury is a metal, it is a liquid at room temperature. Mercury melts at about -39°C. If

the temperature of a block of mercury starts at -54°C and increases by 22°C, does the mercury melt?
Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Mercury

Explanation: Mercury is kinda like the opposite of regular semi-liquid. For ice to melt you need Fahrenheit to melt ice into water while you need Celsius to melt mercury.

Answer 2

I think so because if it starts at a low temperature for that material, it should melt when you bring it up to that temperature.
