Question

What is the freezing point of a compound, in degrees Celsius, with a melting point of 323 K?

Answer 1

50°C

Step-by-step explanation:

-Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a substance changes state from solid to liquid.

-For most chemical substances, the melting and freezing point are approximately equal.

-Hence, the freezing point for this substance is 323 K

#We convert the temperature as follows:

`1\ K=\textdegree C+273\textdegree C\\\\\therefore 323K=323\textdegree C-273\textdegree C\\\\=50\textdegree C`

Hence, the freezing point of the substance is 50°C
