Q: it is a sulphur compound and makes easier to melt gold which otherwise has very high melting point.

A: As stated above, the “flux” is commonly “borax”. In metallurgy, a flux a material that aids in smelting by assisting the flow of the molten metal or slag. Borax is sodium borate: Na2B4O7·10H2O or Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O. It is sometimes called or sodium tetraborate or disodium tetraborate.

How are the melting and freezing points of gold the same temperature?

Q: the melting point of gold is 1064 C, and the freezing point i have found to be 1064 C as well… how is this possible, and am i even correct? help me!

A: Well think of it this way.The melting and freezing point of water (ice) is 0 C.So if you start at -4, and heat it up to 0, it can then start to melt. If you have it at +4, and cool it back down to zero, then it can start to refreeze.Think of the “gold” as just the ice form of it, and melted its like water. Works the same way!
