Question

Matter is in a liquid state when its temperature is between its melting point and its boiling point. Suppose that some substance has a melting point of -36.14 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 324.84 degrees Celsius . What is the range of temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit for which this substance is not in a liquid​ state?

Answer 1

Answer:

i. When the temperature is above $616.712^{o}$F, it changes to gas.

ii. When the temperature is below $-33.052^{o}$F, it changes to solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matter generally exists in either a solid, liquid or gaseous form. With each phase having a certain range of temperature.

Temperature scale of a given substance can be either in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. And conversion from one scale to another can be achieved. Example, Celsius scale can be converted to Fahrenheit by:

F = $\frac{9}{5}$ θ + 32

where: F is the equivalent temperature in Fahrenheit, θ is the value of temperature in degree Celsius.

Given that: melting point of the substance = $-36.14^{o}$C

⇒ F =  $\frac{9}{5}$ x $-36.14^{o}$ + 32

      = $-33.052^{o}$F

The boiling point = $324.84^{o}$C

F =  $\frac{9}{5}$ x  $324.84^{o}$ + 32

  = $616.712^{o}$F

The melting point of the substance is $-33.052^{o}$F, and boiling point is $616.712^{o}$F.

Therefore, the range of temperatures for which the substance is not in a liquid state are:

i. When the temperature is above $616.712^{o}$F, it changes to gas.

ii. When the temperature is below $-33.052^{o}$F, it changes to solid.
