When released in the room, it probably combusted with sulpher as an analogy with how oxygen works in our world. It certainly vaporized, but the details were not explained. In reality, I think eartly "organic molecules" of any kind would completely break up at that temperature. | |

| Mar 31, 2016 at 20:21 | comment | added | Jim2B | The main deficiency of my answer is the fact that it relies on standard pressure for the temperature ranges. I couldn't find a quick and easy discussion of how different pressures change the values. | |
