AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks if heat can be added to a substance without causing its temperature to rise and whether this contradicts the concept of heat as energy transferred due to temperature differences. 2. **Identifying the Concept of Latent Heat:** Yes, it is possible to add heat to a substance without increasing its temperature. This occurs during a phase change, such as melting or boiling, where the heat added is known as latent heat. ...
