Heat, Temperature, And Phase Change

Heat, Temperature, and Phase Changes Assessment Practice Answer

This graph shows what happens to the temperature of the water, while it was boiling in a kettle, as heat energy was being added to it and what the water was doing will it began to warm and change states. During a phase change, the temperature remains mainly constant. This occurs because the heat energy is used to break the bonds between the ice molecules as they turn into a liquid phase. It is possible to constantly add heat energy to the water without a constant change in the temperature because the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change at the moment of melting, the temperature of the molecules also does not change. Heat and temperature are
