How do the particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?
They move faster.
Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?
Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature
What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
If you add enough thermal energy a material may change its?
First, it'll change it's temperature, and with this comes change in size, usually expansion. Then it can change its physical properties, it can become softer, or harder. Next you may change its phase: If you're starting out with a solid, it may melt to liquid phase; a liquid may go to gas phase; a gas may go to plasma phase. Or, if oxygen is available, eventually it may start to burn. Or, depending on the material, which could well be a mixture of different molecules, these might interact with each other, or they might fragment into smaller molecules.
What do you call this when a solid is heated and turns into a liquid?
melting. Yep, it sure is melting. But also, when a solid becomes a liquid, it basically is heat being applied to the solid, and causing the molecules of the solid to move around, and when the molecules move around, it is not called a solid anymore, but called a liquid, because the molecules are not compact. :D -Dain
What does a solid heat up to become?
liquid - depending on what the solid was to start with
How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?
Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state
What is the state of matter of mercury at freezing temperature?
At mercury's own freezing temperature, the mercury can be either solid or liquid; that is the definition of "freezing temperature".
How does solid state change into liquid state?
A liquid changes into a solid state when its particles start losing energy. This is usually due to a decrease in temperature because if there is less heat energy present, there is less kinetic energy produced in the particles. As the particles of the liquid continue to slow down its vibration speed, it becomes a solid. The word for this is known as freezing and the best example for it is the change of state from water (liquid) to ice (solid).
How can liquid water change into a solid state and into a gas state?
A liquid changes into a solid state when its particles start losing energy. This is usually due to a decrease in temperature because if there is less heat energy present, there is less kinetic energy produced in the particles. As the particles of the liquid continue to slow down its vibration speed, it becomes a solid. The word for this is known as freezing and the best example for it is the change of state from water (liquid) to ice (solid).
Why does liquid turn into a solid when it's cooled?
The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.
What is a temperature at which solids start to change from a liquid?
the melting point
Does the temperature rise when the ice is melting?
Assuming you put a bowl of ice cubes into the fridge (which is well isolated, but the temperatue is above freezing level). The ice will begin to melt. Even if you turn the fridge off, the temperature in the fridge will drop as the ice takes up energy from the surrounding air to liquify. The answer is: Yes.
How do the particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?
They move faster.
Is Liquid wax turned solid a chemical change?
Yes becasue when the atoms inside the wax start to change, they all form and become a solid. this is what is now called replacement.
Describe how particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
Particles do not change when they change state from solid to liquid form. However, they will change behavior because they are completely still when they are solid and move faster when a liquid.
When ice changes phases from solid to liquid energy is required Where does it come from?
Ice changes into water when some heat is involved. The heat energy is used as latent heat to change its state from solid to liquid but note that the temperature remains the same. This is can be seen by fixing an experimetn. Fill a beaker with ice and attach it with thermometer. Start heating it. Look at the temperature at the first and at the end when it is in liquid state. It remains same (0 degree celcius)
