The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 25\u00b0C, methylene chloride (CH\u2082Cl\u2082) would be in a liquid<\/strong> state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Methylene chloride has the following physical properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Boiling point<\/strong>: 40\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Melting point<\/strong>: -96.7\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The state of a substance is determined by its temperature relative to its melting point (solid-liquid transition) and boiling point (liquid-gas transition). Here’s the reasoning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. At 25\u00b0C<\/strong>, which is well above the melting point (-96.7\u00b0C) but below the boiling point (40\u00b0C), methylene chloride is in its liquid<\/strong> state.\n
        \n
      • Since 25\u00b0C is above the melting point, the solid form of methylene chloride will have already melted into a liquid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 25\u00b0C is also below the boiling point (40\u00b0C), so methylene chloride will not have vaporized into a gas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Solid state<\/strong>: This would only occur if the temperature were below the melting point of -96.7\u00b0C, which is far colder than 25\u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Gas state<\/strong>: This would only occur if the temperature were above the boiling point of 40\u00b0C, which is also not the case at 25\u00b0C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Thus, at 25\u00b0C, methylene chloride is exclusively in the liquid state<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Correct Answer: D. Liquid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
