Gas
ii)
State of N :
Liquid
b)

The table lists the melting points and boiling points of eight substances.

i)

A could be water. Its melting point is 0 C and its boiling point is

100 C, which are the same as those of water.

ii)

All the substances have melting points below room

temperature(30C ) and boiling points above room temperature.
Therefore, they are liquids at room temperature.

The particles of a gas are moving about freely and randomly at
great speeds. They are constantly colliding with each other and
against the walls of the container. As a result, the gas exerts pressure
on the walls of its container.
b)
An increase in temperature causes the particles in the gas to gain
kinetic energy and move faster. The particles therefore collide against
the walls of the container more frequently. As a result, the pressure
is increased.
