Question

Ethene is a useful substance that can form polymers. It has a melting point of 169°C and a boiling point of 104°C. At which temperature would ethene be a liquid?

Answer 1

Answer:

-169°C to -104°C

Explanation:

Ethene, also known as ethylene exists in solid, liquid and gaseous states. Ethene is an aliens with condensed structural formula C2H4. Athens is a colourless gas. It is flammable and is also a sweet smelling gas in its pure form. It is the monomer in the production of polyethylene which is of great importance in the plastic industry. In agriculture, it is used to induce the ripening of fruits. It can be hydrated in order to produce ethanol.

The liquid range of ethene refers to the temperatures at which ethene is found in the liquid state of matter. It is actually the difference between the melting point and the boiling points of ethene. Hence the liquid range of ethene is -169°C to -104°C
