What is your problem with this question? It seems straight forward to me.
i don't get what atmospheric is supposed to mean, i under stand at room temp, but not atmospheric. i don't know the answers.
I'm not sure how it relates to this question either. After re-reading the question I don't know that it's so straight forward either. Here is a link that talks about atmospheric temperature.

However, if they don't tell you the height there is no way to know what the temperature is. This problem may have started out to be to define the state of these materials at room T and normal atmospheric pressure.
John, look at the same question by anon above (several questions above). I think I have solution shown there is you can decide how many of these heights the problem is asking for.
