Question 18

A test chamber circulates a substance through narrow pipes. The substance must stay liquid while the chamber operates at any temperature from −35 ∘C-35\,^\circ\mathrm{C}−35∘C to 75 ∘C75\,^\circ\mathrm{C}75∘C.

The table gives data for three possible substances at normal atmospheric pressure.

b.

Substance S is put into the chamber by mistake. The chamber is then warmed from 50 ∘C50\,^\circ\mathrm{C}50∘C to 75 ∘C75\,^\circ\mathrm{C}75∘C.

Explain what happens to the particles of S.
