That means that the substance that the heat is being added to is in transition between states. The current state that it is in is atthe highest it can be and still remain in that state, so the heat is instead of increasing the temperature of the substance by making the molecules move faster, it is breaking the intermolecular bonds that are keeping the atoms in that state so as to advance to the higher phase. I guess that the heat would then be called transition heat or something like that. I didn't know that it even had a name of its own.
What else can I help you with?
What is the ability to hold heat called?
The ability to hold heat is called thermal inertia. This is the capacity of a material to resist changes in its temperature when heat is added or removed. Materials with high thermal inertia can maintain their temperature for longer periods of time.
What is required to change the state of water?
To change the state of water from solid (ice) to liquid (water), heat must be added to increase the temperature above 0 degrees Celsius. To change water from liquid to gas (water vapor), heat must be added to increase the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius.
What is it when heat is added to a liquid water what is the processes?
When heat is added to liquid water, the process is called heating or thermal energy absorption. This energy causes the water molecules to move faster, increasing the temperature. If enough heat is added, the water can reach its boiling point, leading to the phase change from liquid to gas, known as evaporation or boiling.
Heat which is added to a vapor after the change of state occurs is called?
Adding heat to a vapor after the change of state from liquid to vapor has occurred is called super-heating. For example, adding heat to steam at 100 C and 101.325 kPa is called super-heating.
Suppose a fixed number of joules of energy as heat is added to 1 kg of substances listed below. Which substance will the rise in temperature be the least?
The substance with the highest specific heat capacity will experience the smallest rise in temperature with the same amount of heat energy added. Water has the highest specific heat capacity among common substances, so it will experience the least rise in temperature when a fixed amount of energy is added.
How is heating related to a substance's temperature?
As an object is heated, the rate of increase in temperature is proportional to the rate of heat added. The proportionality is called the heat capacity. Because the heat capacity is actually a function of temperature in real materials, the total amount of energy added will be equal to the integral of the heat capacity function over the interval from the initial temperature to the final temperature. If you just assume an average heat capacity over the temperature range, then the rise in temperature will be exactly proportional to the amount of heat added.
How is heating related to a substance?

The ability to hold heat is called thermal inertia. This is the capacity of a material to resist changes in its temperature when heat is added or removed. Materials with high thermal inertia can maintain their temperature for longer periods of time.
When heat is added or subtracted is called?
When heat is added, it is called heat absorption or heat gain. When heat is subtracted, it is called heat release or heat loss.
When sufficient quantity of heat has been added to reach the boilingpoint of the solution what happens to the additional heat added?
When additional heat is added, the temperature of the solution remains constant until all the liquid has been converted into gas. This is also called the latent heat of vaporisation.
When a substance goes from a solid to a liquid state without a change in temperature the heat added during the transformation is called?
That's the heat of fusion.
Heat which causes a change in temperature of substanceis called?
Heat which causes a change in temperature of substance is called specific heat.
If heat is added to a saturated vapor and raises the vapors temperature above its boiling point the heat is referred to as?
The heat added to a saturated vapor to raise its temperature above its boiling point is referred to as sensible heat. This is because the heat causes a change in temperature without a phase change.
Why does the temperature rise as heat is being added when only one phase exists?
I think that the temperature rises when heat is being added because all of the energy has nothing else to focus on so it changes the temperature. Also, adding heat would make the temperature rise.
How does the object temperature change?
The object's temperature changes when heat is either added to or removed from it. When heat is added, the object's temperature increases as its molecules gain more energy and move faster. When heat is removed, the object's temperature decreases as its molecules lose energy and slow down.
A difference in the results in different ending temperatures when the same amount of thermal energy is added to two different substances is called what?
That difference is called specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount, so substances with different specific heat capacities will experience different temperature changes when the same amount of thermal energy is added.
Most substances in temperature and when heat is added to them.?
Most substances increase in temperature when heat is added to them. This is due to the absorption of thermal energy, which causes the particles within the substance to move faster, leading to an increase in temperature.
