pure nickel melts at 1726K at 10<sup>5</sup> Pa (1 atm.) pressure, ΔV (solid-liquid) = 0.26 × 10<sup>-6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> . mol<sup>-1</sup> and the heat of fusion, ΔHf = 18000 J.mol<sup>-1</sup>. The melting point of pure nickel, when acted upon by a pressure of 10<sup>8</sup> Pa is . . . . . . . . K.

Correct Answer: 1723.5
