Compared to a 1.0-gram sample of chlorine gas at standard pressure, a 1.0-gram sample of solid aluminum at standard pressure has (1) a lower melting point (2) a higher boiling point (3) a lower density (4) a greater volume

(2) a higher boiling point.

Justification:

1) These are teh melting point, boiling point, and density of chlorine and aluminum at STP (standard pressure and temperature).

                                            aluminum         chlorine

Melting point (°C)                  660.32             2470

density (g / ml)                            2.7                 0.0032

From it, you can see that (1) and (3) are false, while (2) is true: aluminum has a higher melting point.

2) You can predict that from the fact that aluminun is a solid metal, so it has a high melting point compared with any gas at STP (which chlorine is).

3) About the volumes, since the density of aluminum is much less than that of chlorine, the same amount in grams (1.0 g) will occupy a smaller volume.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
