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 - 39.76°C
and a boiling point of 388. 23°C. What is the range of temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit for which this substance is not in a liquid state? (Hint: C F - 32)
(
Express the range as an inequality and in interval notation
Let x represent the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. What is the range of temperatures for which this substance is not in a liquid state?
(Type an inequality or a compound inequality. Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to three decimal places as
needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

x<39.76 OR x>388.23 (In degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Melting point is when a a substance turns from a solid to liquid, and boiling point is the point where it turns from a liquid to a gas. That means in between these points is when the matter is in the liquid state, so it could be anything not included from the range 39.76-388.23.
