nope butter begins to melt at 90 degrees
To soften butter without melting it, you can leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or gently pound it with a rolling pin.
Because the butter goes from being a solid to a liquid as it changes temperature.
Slightly above room temperature.
To soften frozen butter without melting it, you can grate it using a cheese grater or leave it at room temperature for some time until it becomes softer.
Melting is a physical change; but above a temperature the thermal decomposition of butter begin - this is a chemical change.
Ice melting is the phase change of solid ice into liquid water due to an increase in temperature, whereas chocolate melting is the phase change of solid chocolate into liquid chocolate also due to an increase in temperature. The main difference is that ice melting is a pure substance changing phases, while chocolate melting involves a mixture of ingredients such as cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids.
physical. All you're doing is changing the temperature of it, not changing what it is.

Melting of butter is a physical change.
Melting of butter is a physical change, a change of phase; but the brown color, at high temperature, is an indication of thermal decomposition - this ia a chemical change (change of composition).
To quickly bring butter to room temperature, you can cut it into small pieces or grate it, then leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, checking frequently to avoid melting.
Butter does not have a definite melting point because it is an example of an amorphous solids, and amorphous solids have non uniform attractive forces between the particles. Therefore the particles of the butter will not all melt together but rather the melting will happen gradually. Having a mixture of particles where some areas are going to have strong forces of bonds and other weak forces of bonds. The weak forces will over come first and later the strong forces will overcome, and that is how butter melts.
