Question

sulfar has a melting point of 215 oc. this means that if sulfars has a temperature of 220 oc, what phase(s) of matter can it be in?
only liquid
only solid
only gas
both solid and liquid
both solid, liquid and gas

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the concept of melting point

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. If the temperature is above the melting point, the substance is in liquid state.

Step2: Compare the given temperature with melting point

Given that the melting point of sulfur is \(215^{\circ}C\) and the temperature is \(220^{\circ}C\). Since \(220^{\circ}C>215^{\circ}C\), sulfur is in liquid state.

Answer:

Only Liquid
