Explain why the temperature remains constant during the process of sublimation.

(N/A) During the process of sublimation,the heat energy supplied to the substance is entirely consumed to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles of the solid. This energy is known as the latent heat of sublimation. Since this heat is used for the phase change from solid to vapour rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the particles,the temperature of the substance remains constant until the entire solid has transformed into vapour.
