What term describes heat that is added to or removed from a substance to change its temperature?

The term that describes heat added to or removed from a substance to change its temperature is referred to as sensible heat. Sensible heat is the energy exchanged by a thermodynamic system that results in a temperature change. When heat is added to a substance, its temperature increases, and when heat is removed, the temperature decreases. This concept is fundamental in thermodynamics as it pertains to the study of heat transfer and states of matter.

In contrast, the concept of superheat relates to the heat added to a vapor after it has reached the boiling point, without changing its temperature. Specific heat, on the other hand, is a property that defines the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius, rather than describing the process of heat transfer itself. Latent heat refers to the heat added or removed during a phase change (such as melting or boiling) at a constant temperature, which does not result in a temperature change. Hence, the correct term for heat that changes temperature is sensible heat.
