Q

Which is a solid at ambient temperature?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Physical state at ambient (room) temperature of common cargo chemicals • Typical uses and forms of aniline, naphthalene, formic acid, and methyl chloride in industry and shipping • Relationship between melting/boiling points and whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: how is this substance most commonly stored and transported— as a gas, liquid, or solid? • Think about whether each substance is more associated with crystals/flakes, a clear liquid, or a compressed gas cylinder. • Consider approximate room temperature (about 20–25°C). Which of these substances would still keep its shape and not flow at that temperature?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which substances are commonly referred to as oily or liquid chemicals in cargo tables. • Check if any option is known as a compressed or liquefied gas at ambient conditions. • Identify the one that is widely recognized as a crystalline or flaked solid at room temperature.
