Answer:What happens to the temperature of a substance during a phase change? Why does this happen?

Explanation:During a phase change the temperature remains constant. This is because the heat supplied to change the state of matter is used in breaking the intermolecular forces and other attractive forces. Therefore, the temperature remains constant as no heat is absorbed or released.
