Question: 199

3. The summit of Mount Everest is 8.8 km above sea level. What is the approximate density of air at this point?

  • A. N2
  • B. Br2
  • C. Hg
  • D. Al

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D Enthalpy of vaporization is the heat energy required per mole to change from the liquid to gas phase. N2 is a gas at room temperature, Br2 and Hg are both liquids at room temperature, and Al is a solid at room temperature. Therefore, it is expected that Al will have the highest enthalpy of vaporization, making choice D correct.
