Distilled water can be cooled to an extremely low temperature before it starts to freeze. When ice begins forming, it will warm up to 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) until all the water is frozen. In a microwave it can get as hot as 120 degrees Celsius (240 Fahrenheit) before it starts to boil. Then when it starts to boil, it will cool down to 100 Celsius (220 Fahrenheit) until it has all evaporated. (That is why it can be dangerous to pull a hot coffee cup out of a microwave oven. Water above boiling point can scald your hand.)
The Phase Change is complete, e.g water melting from ice phase to liquid phase or water evaporating from liquid to gas. Save
The temperature of a substance does not change before the Phase change is complete.
No. During a phase change the temperature is constant until the phase change is complete.

A substance with a high specific heat will easily change temperature.
A substance with a high specific heat will easily change temperature.
Yes, only if the temperature of a substance is increased.
change in temperature
stays the same
This temperature is called melting point and is different for each substance or material.
temperature
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.
