What is the name of the clear liquid formed when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

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 CuSO₄ to blue.
