What spick is trying to say is the change of state from liquid to vapour at constant temperature also requires the input of energy, called the latent heat of vaporization. This implies that while a liquid undergoes a change to the vapour state at the normal boiling point, the temperature of the liquid will not rise beyond the temperature of the boiling point.
The latent heat of evaporation is the energy required to overcome the molecular forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid, and bring them to the vapour state, where such attractions are minimal.
The definition of the specific latent heat of vaporization is
'The specific latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapour without a change in temperature."
I hope this clears up any confusion....

At no time did any of these ramblings make any sense whatsoever. We are all now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
