6. During a phase change (e.g., the transition from solid to liquid), significant energy is absorbed by the system. Yet, the temperature remains constant. Where does the energy go

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy absorbed by the system during phase change is referred to as latent heat.

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

The energy is what is being used for the phase change and cannot be measured by the thermometer.
