Boiling point
A liquid's boiling point is the temperature at which it quickly boils and turns into a gas at atmospheric pressure. the cause of the lack of temperature rise
Even with a constant heat source, when a liquid, like water, starts to boil, its temperature does not increase.
The excess heat given to boiling water is used to vaporize water, which is known as latent heat of vaporization.
So, the temperature does not rise because the given energy is used to change the state of the liquid.
