Question

Bromine has a melting point of $-7.2{}^{o}C$ and a boiling point of $59{}^{o}C$. At what temperature will bromine have a definite volume but no definite shape?

• A. $73{}^{o}C$
• B. $32{}^{o}C$
• C. $-9{}^{o}C$
• D. $-27{}^{o}C$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $32{}^{o}C$

A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, it only takes the shape of the container it is kept.
From temperature greater than $-7.2{}^{o}C$ to temperature lower than $59{}^{o}C$, bromine exits in liquid state. Hence temperature is $32{}^{o}C$
