The temperature remains constant during the phase change until all of the substance has been changed or converted into the new phase (i.e. solid to liquid). That is because all of the energy going into (being absorbed by) the substance is being applied toward converting the substance into the new phase. At the point that the last entity of the substance has been converted into the new phase and no more of the old phase (solid) remains, the energy absorbed will begin to raise the temperature of the substance.

What is unique about temperature during phase changes?

It doesn't change notwithstanding heat energy changes.


A change of phase takes place at a constant?

A change of phase takes place at a constant temperature and pressure. During a change of phase, the substance absorbs or releases latent heat without a change in temperature.


Does the temperature of a substance change before the change of state is complete?

No. During a phase change the temperature is constant until the phase change is complete.


How do you get a change of phase?

Change of phase is caused 99% of the time by a change in temperature or pressure.


Does the temperature of a substance changes before the change of state is completed?

No. During a phase change the temperature is constant until the phase change is complete.


Why doesn't the temperature change fast during a phase change?

Basically because there is energy needed for the temperature to rise or become lower, but energy is also needed to change the phase, so instead of the energy being used to change the temperature, it is being used to change the phase, therefore temperature does not change.


What happens to temperature during a phase change?

During a phase change, the temperature remains constant as the substance absorbs or releases heat energy to change from one phase to another. This is because the energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds rather than raise or lower the temperature.


Does the temperature change while a phase chage is occurring?

No, the temperature does not change during a phase change. It remains constant until all the substance has undergone the phase change.


Why does phase change occur in materials?

Changing the temperature or pressure of a material we can change the phase.

What causes a substance to change a phase?
