Acertain material has a normal freezing point of 10ºc and a normal boiling point of 70ºc. what state is the material in at room temperature (about 22ºc)? explain your answer.

Explanation:

A freezing point is defined as the point in which a liquid state of a substance changes into solid state.

Whereas boiling point is defined as the point at which liquid state of substance starts to convert into vapor state.

So, a substance is freezing at and boils at then it means at room temperature, that is, around the substance is present in liquid state.

This is because between the freezing and boiling point a substance will always exist in liquid state.

Thus, we can conclude that state of the material at room temperature is liquid.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
