Question

At $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ gallium is a solid with a density of 5.91 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .$ Its melting point, $29.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ is low enough that you can melt it by holding it in your hand. The density of liquid gallium just above the melting point is 6.1 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .$ Based on this information, what unusual feature would you expect to find in the phase diagram of gallium?
