Answer:

Look in explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of temperature is the measure of kinetic energy(which is the energy used to measure motion). Since phase changing is only changing the energy, the kinetic energy will not change. There is only energy used to separate the molecules. You can see on a phase change graph that the temperature stays constant during a phase change and will ONLY change after the change has already been done.
