The diagram below shows the change of phases of a substance on a temperature vs time graph on heating the substance at a constant rate.

Why is the slope of CD less than slope of AB ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The slope of CD is less than slope of AB because specific heat capacity of liquid phase of same material can be different from that of solid phase of same material.
