The correct Answer is:
To determine which ether is liquid at room temperature, we can analyze the given options based on their physical states and boiling points. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The question provides several ethers as options. We need to evaluate each one to see if it is liquid at room temperature. 2. **Check Ethyl Methyl Ether**: - **Boiling Point**: Ethyl methyl ether has a boiling point of 7.6 °C. - **State at Room Temperature**: Since room temperature is typically around 25 °C, ethyl methyl ether will be in a gaseous state at this temperature. 3. **Check Dimethyl Ether**: - **Boiling Point**: Dimethyl ether has a boiling point of -24 °C. - **State at Room Temperature**: Given that -24 °C is well below room temperature, dimethyl ether will also be a gas at room temperature. 4. **Check Diethyl Ether**: - **Boiling Point**: Diethyl ether has a boiling point of 34.6 °C. - **State at Room Temperature**: Since 34.6 °C is above room temperature, diethyl ether will be a liquid at room temperature. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the boiling points and states at room temperature, the only ether that is liquid at room temperature is diethyl ether. ### Final Answer: The ether which is liquid at room temperature is **Diethyl Ether**. ---
