Interpreting Melting & Boiling Point Tables

REMEMBER: The bigger the negative number the colder the material.
- -10^oC is colder than -2^oC.
- -1000^oC is colder than -200^oC
- -10^oC is colder than 5^oC
What phase of matter is each substance from the table at 1^oC?
- GASES: 1^oC is warmer than the boiling point
  - Methane
- LIQUIDS: 1^oC is warmer than the melting point and colder than the boiling point
  - Rubbing Alcohol
  - Water
- SOLIDS: 1^oC is warmer than the boiling point
  - Zinc chloride
  - Magnesium chloride
  - Sodium chloride
What phase of matter is each substance on the table at 102^oC?
- GASES: 1^oC is warmer than the boiling point
  - Methane
  - Water
