The boiling point of Methane is -161°C. How is the substance carried?
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer is A) Atmospheric pressure.
Methane has a very low boiling point of -161°C, which means it is a gas at normal ambient temperatures and pressures. To transport methane, it is typically carried under atmospheric pressure, as the low boiling point requires specialized refrigerated or pressurized containment to maintain it in a liquid state. Options B, C, and D would not be suitable for transporting methane, as they do not account for the extremely low boiling point of the substance.
