Question 21

The table shows some information about five gases.

GasFormulaBoiling point in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C
ammoniaNH3\text{NH}_3NH3​-33
propaneC3H8\text{C}_3\text{H}_8C3​H8​-42
carbon dioxideCO2\text{CO}_2CO2​-78

Choose gases from the table to answer this question.

You may use each gas once, more than once, or not at all.

Refer to the following relative atomic masses: H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, He=4\text{He} = 4He=4, C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, N=14\text{N} = 14N=14, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Ar=40\text{Ar} = 40Ar=40.
