Question

Freezing point and boiling point of a substance P is -220 0 c and – 185 0c. A t which of the following range of the temperatures will P exist as liquid state.

Between -175oc to – 210o c
Between – 190oc to – 225oc
Between -200oc to – 160o c
Between -195oc to -215oc

Answer 1

Between -195°C to -215°C

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin from this data:

P under -220°C will be solid, because -220°C is the freezing point.

Above -220°C, P will be at liquid state.

Then -185°C is the boling point, so above that temperature we have P as a gas.

Between -175°C to -210°C

Above -185°C we said that P is gas, so at -175°C P is not liquid. This state is F.

Between – 190°C to -225°C

At -190°C, we can have P as liquid, but -225°C is under -220°C, where P changes from liquid to solid. Then, this state is also F.

Between -200°C to -160°C

Above -185°C we said that P is gas, so at -160°C P is not liquid. This state is also F. The same, as the first situation.

Between -195°C to -215°C

-195°C is a lower temperature than -185°C. P is still liquid, we did not get the boiling point yet. -215°C is higher than -220°C, P is also liquid. There are still 5°C until P completely freezes. This is the correct choice.
