$A , B$ and $C$ are all liquids. Liquid $A$ has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid a vaporizes completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid $A$ is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid $B$ has a very high boiling point. It also vaporizes completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid $B$ is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid $c$ has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid $C$ vaporises leaving behind a white solid $D$ which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from $C$ give a liquid $E$ which turns anhydrous $CuSO _4$ to blue.

- Liquid $B$ has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises on heating. It is a conductor of electricity and is used in making thermometers. So, $B$ could be an element. Further, liquid $B$ is mercury as mercury is a liquid metal, which expands on heating and is used extensively in thermometers.
- Liquid $C$ has a moderate boiling point. It could be a mixture. It is a salt solution because when $C$ is heated, it vaporises and leaves behind a white solid (salt), which is used in the process of cooking.
- Liquid $A$ is used in motor vehicles as fuel, either alone or after mixing with petrol. It could be a compound because on heating, it does not leave any residue. It is alcohol as alcohol is being used in motor vehicles nowadays.
- Solid $D$ is sodium chloride. It is also known as common salt and is added in food.
- Liquid $E$ is water as, on heating, liquid $C,$ which is a salt solution, leaves water vapours. On condensing these vapours, we obtain pure water. When water is mixed with anhydrous copper sulphate, we obtain a blue colour solution. This is because of the formation of hydrated copper sulphate solution.
