In this question, we need to analyze the solubility of some substances and the changes that can occur to each one upon heating, at 20°C, every substance listed is soluble, NaCl, Na2SO4, Li2CO3 and Sucrose, but when we have a change in temperature, it will affect directly the solubility of the solution, for example, if you increase the temperature, Lithium carbonate and Sodium sulfate, will have a lower solubility in water, therefore if we have a certain amount of these two substances at 20°C and in 100g of water, the solution will be soluble, but if we increase the temperature, the solubility will change and these two compounds will start to precipitate, as the solubility will be lowering down.

Therefore the answers are Na2SO4 and Li2CO3
