Why does temperature stay the same during a phase change?. Created by Ashley246246. middle-school-us - biology-us

Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperaturechange. However, during the phasechange, the temperaturestays the same even though the heat energy changes. This energy is directed into changing the phase and not into raising the temperature. That's why the temperature of water doesn't increase as it is boiling.
