That happens when there is a phase transition; for example, when ice melts, it takes energy to convert ice at zero degrees, to water at zero degrees.

How can you add thermal energy to a substance without increasing the temperature?
You can add thermal energy to a substance without increasing its temperature by adding hot water. As the thermal energy of the substance increases, the particles of the substance expands. That is how you can open a bottle by putting it under hot water.
Can you add thermal energy to an object without increasing its temperature?
yes-increase its mass
What occurs when particles in a substance move faster and occupy a larger space without changing to another state of matter?
Thermal expansion
Is it possible to add thermal energy to a substance and not to raise its temperature?
Thermal energy is simply just another term for temperature. Adding thermal energy to any substance will always create a rise in temperature. The only way it would be possible to add thermal energy to a substance without seeing any net increase in temperature would be if the substance lost an equal amount of thermal energy at the same time.Answer:At the melting point and boiling point any input of thermal energy goes to the change of state rather than the rise in temperature. As a consequence boilling water stays at 100oC until it is all evaporated and melting ice stays at 0oC until the entire mass is melted
How can temperature be increased without heating?
It is possible to add heat to a substance without changing its temperature. That happens during melting and boiling. However, I cannot think of a case in which the temperature of a substance increases without heat being added to it, either by radiation, conduction or convection.
The characteristic of a substance that can be observed, without changing it into another substance, is called a?
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Can thermal energy be added without an increase in temperature?
No, thermal energy is entirely energy added for heat.
What is the ability to withstand increasing amounts of a drug without reacting to it?
Drug tolerance is the ability to withstand increasing amounts of a drug without reacting to it
What is a Substance without reference to another substance?
physical properties
Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?
YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.
What is the characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing the substance into something else.?
A physical property can be observed without changing the substance into something else.
What property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into something else?
A physical property can be observed without changing the substance into something else.
