1 answer

Between points C and D on a heating curve, the thermodynamic process occurring is:

The Liquid matter is boiling.

At this stage, the substance is transitioning from the liquid phase to the gas phase, which is characterized by the boiling process. The temperature remains constant during this phase change, even though heat is being added.
