👉 Counterpotent is a term used in chemistry to describe a substance that has both high boiling and freezing points, but its melting point is low. This means that it can be melted down at room temperature without causing significant damage or losing much of its chemical properties. Counterpotents are often used in the food industry for their ability to preserve products like cheese and meats for long periods of time. In chemistry, counterpotent substances are those that have a high boiling point but also a low melting point
