RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Given: the melting point of HCl is

-114.8 °C, which suggests that below this temperature HCl will be solid.

and, since the boiling point of HCl is - 85.1 °C. It is also suggested that above this temperature HCl will be gas, Therefore.

Solid -114.8 - Ordered arrangement

Liquid -85.1c - Less orderly arranged

Gaseous - Least orderly arranged

Thus, at —90 °C, HCl will be present 'in the liquid state, At — 1 °C, HCl will be present in the gaseous state and at -129 °C, HCl will be present in the solid-state. So, the molecules will be organized in a more orderly manner .

Thus, the correct answer is - option C
