Question 3

Table 1 shows the melting and boiling points of argon and nitrogen.

Table 1

SubstanceMelting point in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘CBoiling point in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C
Argon-189-186
Nitrogen-210-196

An industrial cryogenic chamber containing argon and nitrogen is maintained at a constant temperature of 83 K.

Using the information in Table 1, what are the physical states of these two substances at 83 K? (Use the relationship: T(K)=T(∘C)+273T(\text{K}) = T(^\circ\text{C}) + 273T(K)=T(∘C)+273)

argon: solid, nitrogen: gas

argon: liquid, nitrogen: gas
