The substances are placed in a separate containers at room temperature, and each container is gradually cooled. which of these substances will solidify before the temperature reaches 0 celcius? a) benzene b) water c) butane d) nitrogen

The correct answer option is A) benzene.

Explanation:

Benzene is an organic chemical compound (hydrocarbon), consisting of 6 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.

Out of all the given options, Benzene will solidify the earliest before reaching a temperature of 0 degree Celcius, when cooled.

The reason being that it has a freezing temperature of 5.5 degree Celcius while all other substances have their freezing points which are below 0 degree Celcius.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
