Question 42

Substance X, a simple molecular compound, is used as a low-temperature heat-transfer fluid. Under standard atmospheric pressure, it is a liquid at −50 ∘C-50\ ^\circ\text{C}−50 ∘C but evaporates to become a gas at room temperature (25 ∘C25\ ^\circ\text{C}25 ∘C).

Which row of the table shows the most likely melting point and boiling point for Substance X?
