Describe What would happen to the temperature of boiling water if you added energy?​

When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation).

If the liquid is a mixture, as the more volatile components boil off, the boiling point rises, so adding energy causes the temperature to go up. If you add enough energy, all the liquid evaporates, so there is no liquid temperature
