A technician places separate samples of four pure substances in a temperature-controlled chamber. The measurements are made at atmospheric pressure.
| Substance | Melting point (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C) | Boiling point (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C) |
|---|---|---|
| A | -20 | 35 |
| B | 10 | 85 |
| C | 45 | 120 |
| D | -65 | -5 |
The available chamber settings are −15 ∘C-15\,^\circ\mathrm{C}−15∘C, 5 ∘C5\,^\circ\mathrm{C}5∘C, 20 ∘C20\,^\circ\mathrm{C}20∘C and 50 ∘C50\,^\circ\mathrm{C}50∘C.
The required conditions are: A and B are liquids, C is a solid and D is a gas. Which setting should the technician select?
