Question

Oxygen has a boiling point of -183°C and freezing point of -219°C which of the following is true about oxygen?

A. It turns into a solid at the same temperature as water.
B. It boils at a higher temperature than water boils.
C. It cannot be found naturally as a solid on Earth.
D. It cannot be found naturally as a gas on Earth

Answer 1

B. It boils at a higher temperature than water boils.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Oxygen boils at a higher temperature than water boils.

Water has a boiling point of 100°C and a freezing point of 0°C, so it turns into a solid at a higher temperature than oxygen.

Oxygen can be found naturally as a solid on Earth, such as in the form of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) or in certain minerals. However, it is more commonly found as a gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
