  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of tert-butanol is higher than expected due to its ability to form a solid crystalline phase. What is the name of this phase?

    • A) Liquid-vapor equilibrium
    • B) Solid-liquid equilibrium
    • C) Crystalline solid phase
    • D) Supercritical fluid phase

    Answer: Solid-liquid equilibrium

    Explanation: Tert-butanol exhibits a solid-liquid equilibrium, resulting in a higher boiling point as it transitions from a liquid to a solid phase.
