Answer

(a) The different parts represent the following:

  • Part AB — It shows the rise in temperature of solid from 0°C to t1°C.
  • Part BC — It shows melting at temperature t1°C.
  • Part CD — It shows the rise in temperature of liquid from t1°C to t3°C.
  • Part DE — It shows boiling at temperature t3°C

(b) The melting point of the substance is t1° C.

(c) The boiling point of the substance is t3° C.
