10.

Old thermometers contained very small amounts of mercury. The mercury in the photo has a melting point of −38.8 °C. What can you conclude about the melting point of the mercury in old thermometers?

a)

Its melting point can only be determined when the mercury is burned.

b)

Its melting point changes as the mercury’s temperature changes.

c)

ts melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.

d)

Its melting point is less than −38.8 °C because its volume is smaller.
