Question

Why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state for any substance?

Answer 1

Forces of Attraction:

• The attracting and repellent forces that develop between the molecules of a material are referred to as intermolecular forces (IMF), which is sometimes shortened.
• These forces operate as a mediator between a substance's individual molecules.

Required temperature to change the state of any substance:

• Heat is used to transition from one state to the next.
• The heat supplied during the phase transition is fully utilized to alter the state by overcoming the force of attraction between the particles.
• As a result, the temperature in the state will remain constant.
• The heat provided here is referred to as latent heat.
