Don't need the exact temp, just tell if it's high, low, room temp

Room temp ish depends on the halide tbh I just know Cl is at room temp I assume rest would be just a bit off

Actually i am confused about this, P/X2 creates PX3 which changed RCOOH to RCOX, but RCOOH + P/X2 also does HVZ reaction (alpha halogenation), but hvz occus at a higher temp (above 373K), so if the RCOX formation occurs around room temperature we can differentiate between the RCOX and hvz
