Expert Answer:
(a) At point A: The substance is in the solid state.
At point B: The substance has started melting. It exists both in the solid and liquid states.
At point C: The substance is in the liquid state.
At point D: The substance has started boiling. It exists both into the liquid and gaseous states.
(b) The melting point of he substance is 15oC
(c) The boiling point of the substance is 110oC
(d) The A1 to B1 and D1 to D2.
(e) From A1 to B1 - latent heat of fusion. D1 to D2 - Latent heat of vaporisation.
