To accurately determine what is happening at portion C on a phase change graph for water, it's generally important to know what phase change is being represented at that portion.
If portion C corresponds to a phase change (like melting or boiling), energy is absorbed without a change in temperature, which means:
**The energy is increasing, but the temperature stays the same.**
On the other hand, if portion C is part of a temperature increase within a single phase (like heating liquid water), then:
**The energy is increasing, and temperature is also increasing.**
However, without seeing the graph or knowing specifically what portion C represents, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer. Typically, in the context of a phase change (like during melting or boiling), the correct response would be:
**The energy is increasing, but the temperature stays the same.**
Please confirm if this aligns with the phase change representation in your graph.
