Nothing. Your question presupposes that a phase change occurs, presumably caused by heat energy. After that, the heat doesn't do anything other than persist in being energy. If you are asking how heat energy causes a phase change, I'm afraid you'll have to delve into thermodynamics for that answer. I doubt you'll find a concrete answer, however. Phase changes are empirically determined. They are directly related to heat, of course, but pressure and the particular element involved must also be taken into account. One can melt gallium in the palm of one's hand, but not iron. Why? Atomic structure and thermodynamics.

Which type of energry is being transferreed during phase change?

During a phase change, the energy being transferred is primarily in the form of latent heat. This is the energy required to change the state of a substance (such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) without changing its temperature.


Latent heat is the energy required for 1 kg of a substance to change?

Latent heat is the energy required for 1 kg of a substance to change ___________. phase


Why does temperature no change during energy phase change?

During a phase change, the heat transferred to a substance is used to break intermolecular forces (latent heat), and thus the temperature of the substance does not change. The opposite also occurs: heat is transferred from a substance during a phase change without a decrease in temperature as intermolecular bonds form.


Latent heat energy levels?

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change without a change in temperature. It is classified into two types: latent heat of fusion, which is the energy involved in changing a substance from solid to liquid or vice versa, and latent heat of vaporization, which is the energy associated with changing a substance from liquid to gas or vice versa. These energy levels vary depending on the substance and the phase change involved.


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.


Is heat a phase change?

No. Heat is a form of energy.


What is unique about temperature during phase changes?

It doesn't change notwithstanding heat energy changes.


What must occur to the heat energy of an object in order of a phase change of the state of matter?

During a phase change, the heat energy of an object must either be absorbed or released to allow the particles to overcome intermolecular forces and rearrange into a new phase. For example, during melting, heat energy is absorbed to break the intermolecular bonds holding the solid together and transition it into a liquid.


What is a good sentence for latent heat?

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change without a change in temperature.


What During a phase change the temperature of a substance .?

The temperature* remains unchanged. * The heat (energy) content changes.


Can latent heat level be measured?

Latent heat cannot be measured directly with a sensor. It is the amount of heat energy that is absorbed or released during a phase change (e.g., melting, boiling). However, it can be calculated by measuring the change in temperature and mass of a substance during a phase change process.
