Once water has been heated to its boiling point, additional heating will not raise its temperature. what happens to this additional energy?

a. energy was used to change phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation). it is radiated back into the atmosphere from the stove.
b. the extra energy is absorbed by the water and is stored for use at a later time.
c. extra energy is turned into potential energy and is stored in the liquid water molecules.
d. energy was used to change phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation). it is stored in the water vapor produced.

This is because water evaperates after reaching it's boiling point.

Answer:

d. energy was used to change phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation). it is stored in the water vapor produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy that is located in the water after the water reaches the 100º or the boiling point is used to transform the water from its liquid state into the gas state, and with this the heat energy is storaged in the water vapor and it eventually starts to go int the surroundings heating up also what is around the water vapor.
