b) - 17 °C
c) - 113 °C



Let's start by taking a close look at ammonias boiling- and melting points


boiling point is the temperature
at which the compound changes
from liquid to gas

boiling point of NH3 = - 33.34 °C

phase change of ammonia

melting point is the temperature
at which the compound changes
from solid to liquid

melting point of NH3 = - 77.73 °C
