If a substance is not at its melting or boiling point as the heat content of a sample of matter increases what happens?

If the heat content of a sample rises and it's not at a phase transition temperature, the temperature will go up. (Melting and boiling points are the two most familiar phase transition temperatures, though there are others.)

As the heat content increases, the temperature of the substance will rise. However, if the substance is not at its melting or boiling point, it will not undergo a phase change. Instead, its temperature will continue to increase until it reaches its melting or boiling point, at which point a phase change will occur.

What happens to the particles when heated in a liquid?
They move faster. The increased motion is measured by temperature. A substance can also change phase (melting, freezing, boiling, condensing, sublimating, depositing). This is because the particle are arranged differently but not necessarily moving faster.
When you change the amount of a substance the time it takes to reach the boiling point then what happens?
The lower the amount of substance, the faster it reaches the boiling point. The more the amount of substance, the longer it takes to reach the boiling point. Hope that this is what you wanted to know! :)
What happens when a substance is distilled?
Components are separated depending on the boiling point.
What happens to the boiling point of a solution as the concentraion increases?
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water. The boiling point can be measured accurately using an ebullioscope.
What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?
It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.
When a substance melt what happens to its overall energy?
It increases

What happens to solubility of a substance when their is rise in temperature?
Generally, as temperature increases, solubility increases. There are a few cases where the opposite happens, though.
When you change the amount of a substance the time it takes to reach the boiling point then what happens?
The lower the amount of substance, the faster it reaches the boiling point. The more the amount of substance, the longer it takes to reach the boiling point. Hope that this is what you wanted to know! :)
What happens to the overall metal content of stars as the universe ages?
it increases
What happens at a substance's boiling point?
Its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it changes from a liquid to a vapor?
The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
What happens to the melting and boiling point of a substance if it contains impurity?
If the impurity has a higher boiling point then the boiling point of the mixture will also be slightly higher, and vice versa.
What happens to an objects density if you add more of the substance to it?
Its density increases.
What happens to the mass when a substance when rusting happens?
When rusting occurs the mass of the substance increases since the rusting material reacts with the oxygen in air
Does Increasing the pressure of a liquid lower its boiling point?
The boiling point of a liquid increases when atmospheric pressure is increased.
