We must determine whether the given substance can be liquefied at 25°C25\degree\text{C}, and for those that cannot we must describe at which conditions they can be liquefied. For each substance, critical temperature and pressure are given. The critical temperature is temperature at which the boundary between the gaseous and liquid phases is broken, and that means above this temperature substance cannot be liquefied. Critical pressure is minimal pressure that must be applied to a substance at critical temperature to liquified it.
