Question
The boiling points of some elements are given below.These three gases are made into liquid air at –200°C and are separated by fractional distallation. When the temperature is increased by 50°C, which substance(s) would remain in liquid state ?A) NitrogenB) XenonC) OxygenD) Nitrogen and oxygen
Solution
To answer this question, we need to know the boiling points of Nitrogen, Xenon, and Oxygen. However, you didn't provide the boiling points of these elements in your question.
Generally, the boiling points of these elements are as follows:
- Nitrogen: -195.8°C
- Xenon: -108.1°C
- Oxygen: -183°C
If the temperature is increased by 50°C from -200°C, it becomes -150°C.
At this temperature:
- Nitrogen, with a boiling point of -195.8°C, would have already boiled and thus, would not remain in a liquid state.
- Xenon, with a boiling point of -108.1°C, would still be in a liquid state because the temperature is still below its boiling point.
- Oxygen, with a boiling point of -183°C, would have already boiled and thus, would not remain in a liquid state.
So, the only substance that would remain in a liquid state at -150°C is Xenon (B).
