Why is heat and kinetic energy related to phase change in matter?
What are the natural and synthetic applications of phase transitions? Give at least 3

Explanation:

Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is absorbed or released. This change is known as change of state. The graph in Figure 11 shows the changes in temperature as thermal energy is gradually added to a container of ice. heated, it absorbs thermal energy and its temperature rises.

Answer:

For example, a liquid may become gas upon heating to the boiling point, resulting in an abrupt change in volume. ... This is because once water reaches the boiling point, extra energy is used to change the state of matter and increase the potential energy instead of the kinetic energy.
