Solution

When a liquid X is cooled at 0°C, it gets converted into a solid-state by a process called 'A'.

XA0°CSOLID

  • Here the liquid X on providing a temperature of 0°C changes to solid by the process called freezing(A).
  • Freezing is the process of changing a liquid to a solid by cooling.
  • Freezing point of water is 0°C
  • Here ‘A’ is freezing.

When the liquid is heated at 100°C, it gets converted into a gaseous state by a process called 'B'.

XB100°CGaseous

  • Here the liquid X on providing a temperature of 100°C changes to solid by the process called Boiling(B).
  • Boiling is the process in which a liquid substance changes to gas on heating.
  • Boiling point of water is 100°C
  • Here ‘B’ is boiling.

Now liquid X undergoes freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C so this liquid is water.

Conclusion:

A - Freezing

B - Boiling

X - Water
