Question

The boiling point of water is 1000 C at sea level. The boiling point of butane is -1.50C… If we leave liquid butane in a bowl on a table in a room where the temperature is 240C, butane will
A. evaporate.
B. condense.
C. freeze.
D. melt.

Answer 1

Answer: If we leave liquid butane in a bowl on a table in a room where the temperature is $24^{o}C$, butane will evaporate.

Explanation:

A temperature at which the the liquid and gaseous phase of a substance of a substance are present in equilibrium with each other is called boiling point.

For example, the boiling point of butane is -1.5 degree Celsius.

This means that at a temperature above -1.5 degree Celsius, butane will exist is gaseous state. That is, at a temperature of 24 degree Celsius butane will evaporate.

Thus, we can conclude that if we leave liquid butane in a bowl on a table in a room where the temperature is $24^{o}C$, butane will evaporate.
