Temperature during Phase Changes
1. Imagine you have a block of steel much below its melting temperature and you start heating it. What happens to its temperature?
(I said that the temperature does not increase)
2. The same block has now reached its melting point and is just starting to melt. You still keep adding head to it. What happens to its temperature?
(I said that the temperature remains at the melting point until the block is completely melted)
3. The steel block has now completely melted. You still keep adding head to it. What happens to the temperature of this molten blob of steel?
(I think it might stay the same, but I am not sure)
Can you confirm my answers and explain the reasoning if they are wrong? Thank you.
