🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between latent heat and sensible heat in basic thermodynamics • What happens to temperature when a substance is changing phase (solid/liquid/gas) versus when it stays in the same phase • The meaning of the word sensible in the context of heat and temperature

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during a phase change (like ice melting to water), does the temperature change while heat is added, or does it stay constant? Which term describes that situation? • Which type of heat is directly detectable by a thermometer as a temperature change, without any change of state? • Look at the key words in each option and connect them to whether they involve a phase change or just a temperature change in the same phase.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to heat that causes a phase change at constant temperature and eliminate it for this question • Confirm which term is defined as heat that produces a measurable temperature change in the substance • Make sure the choice you select is commonly paired with the phrase "can be measured by a thermometer" in basic heat/engineering texts
