Hello, everyone. Today, we are being asked the following question shown below is the phase diagram for Krypton determine the approximate normal melting point of krypton. So the normal melting point of krypton can be approximated at the normal pressure which is one atmosphere or 101.3 to 5 kill it. Pascal's or K P A. And so if we trace this one oh 1.3 to 5 K P A on the Y axis and locate the point where the solid transitions to the liquid Sophie are at this point right around here. And we go to the, where the solid turns into a liquid, which would be right here. And then we trace down to the y axis. We can state that that point is going to be in that halfway mark between 1 and 1 20 which is going to be Kelvin. And with that, we have answered the question, it's going to be answer choice c overall, I hope this helped. And until next time
