  1. 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

  2. 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.
