During the transformation of matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce a temperature increase because
- the heat energy is quickly conducted away
- the heat capacity has become very large as the substance melts
- the heat gained is equal to the heat lost by the substance
-
all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together
The correct answer is: D
