Highest melting point would most likely be SiO2 because it is a macromolecular structure and has high lattice energy.
At constant pressure, an ideal gas will obey Charles Law. V1/T1 = V2/T2. So doubling the temperature will result in the ideal gas expanding by a factor of 1.2, because the temperature must be in Kelvin, so there isn't a doubling.
To find the identity of the gas, find the molar mass and that should give an idea.
PV = nRT
n = PV/RT = (742 mm x 1 atm/760 mm)(0.422 L) / (0.0821 Latm/Kmol)(300.65K)
n = 0.01669 moles
molar mass = g/moles = 1.0035 g / 0.01699 moles
molar mass = 60.12 g/mole
Looks like the unknown gas would be propanol (option D)
