Substances P and Q are each heated from the solid state at the same pressure.
| Substance | Melting point (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C) | Boiling point (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C) |
|---|---|---|
| P | 18 | 82 |
| Q | 82 | 135 |
Both samples reach 82 ∘C82\,^\circ\mathrm{C}82∘C and stay at this temperature while they change state.
Which statement about the samples at this time is correct?
Both samples contain only liquid, because they are at the same temperature.
P contains liquid and gas; Q contains solid and liquid.
P contains solid and liquid; Q contains liquid and gas.
Both samples are boiling, because they are at the same temperature.
