A1.2 HOW HOT DOES IT HAVE TO BE FOR WAX TO MELT?
LINKS
The animation shows an experiment where the temperature of a hot plate is slowly increased until the first sign of melting.
Watch the animation to find out the temperature at which this happens.
The temperature when it is just hot enough for wax to melt is called the
melting point
of wax.
