The melting point of naphthalene is $80^{\circ} C$ and the room temperature is $30^{\circ} C$. A sample of liquid naphthalene at $100^{\circ} C$ is cooled down to the room temperature. Draw a temperature time graph to represent this cooling. In the graph, mark the region which corresponds to the freezing process.
