The melting point of mercury is about 1/4 of the melting point of krypton. The melting point of mercury is -39c. Write and solve an equation to find the melting point of krypton.
The melting point of mercury is about 1/4 of the melting point of krypton. The melting point of mercury is -39c. Write and solve an equation to find the melting point of krypton.
Answer:
-156c
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of krypton melting point is mercury melting point
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](k) = -39
k = -39(4)
k = -156c
The melting point of Krypton is about – 160 oC. It means that numerically the melting point of Krypton is 4 times lower than that of mercury. Now you want to make it something like K(1/4) = – 39 which would be fine.
