The diagram below shows the change of phases of a substance on a temperature-time graph on heating the substances at a constant rate.
(a) What do the parts AB, BC, CD and DE represent?
(b) What is the melting point of the substance?
(c) What is the boiling point of the substance?
(a) AB represents the rise in temperature of solid from 0oC to to1C.
BC represents the melting at temperature to1C.
CD represents the rise in temperature of liquid from to1C to to3C.
DE represents boiling at temperature to3C.
(b) The melting point of the substance is to1C.
(c) The boiling point of the substance is to3C.
