The temperature remains constant because heat produced gets used up in changing the state of matter by overcoming the forces of attraction present between the particles.

Explanation:
Interconversion means the conversion of a solid into liquid or a liquid into gas.
When a substance undergoes interconversion then temperature of the substance remains constant. This is because heat supplied to the substance helps in breaking the crystal lattice of solid.
Hence, all the molecules acquire same kinetic energy. So, there occurs no change in temperature.
This means that latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization are at equilibrium during the interconversion. Therefore, there will be no change in temperature.
