A laboratory technician investigates the physical phase transitions of different pure substances under a constant pressure of 1 atm1\text{ atm}1 atm. The observations are recorded in the table below:
| Substance | State at −100∘C-100^\circ\text{C}−100∘C | State at 25∘C25^\circ\text{C}25∘C | State after cooling back to −100∘C-100^\circ\text{C}−100∘C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercury | Solid | Liquid | Solid |
| Carbon dioxide | Solid | Gas | Solid |
| Quartz (silica) | Solid | Solid | Solid |
What are the correct systematic thermodynamic terms for the phase transitions undergone by the carbon dioxide sample during the heating and cooling stages, respectively?
Heating: Sublimation; Cooling: Condensation
Heating: Vaporisation; Cooling: Freezing
Heating: Sublimation; Cooling: Deposition
Heating: Boiling; Cooling: Deposition
