Why does the temperature of a substance not rise during a change of state?
(N/A) During the change of state,the heat energy supplied is used up in overcoming the force of attraction between the particles of the substance. This energy is known as latent heat. Since this energy does not increase the kinetic energy of the particles,the temperature of the substance remains constant during the phase transition.
