The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
  1. Name the substances (i) X (ii) Y and (iii) Z.
  2. What is the process of conversion of X into Y known as?
  3. At which temperature X gets converted into Y?
