Yes quite possible. This occurs at the change of state. As water gets changed into steam heat will be supplied but the temperature would remain at the boiling temperature.

What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?

These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.


How are temperature and color linked?

Colour and temperature are linked internally The more you provide temperature the more the atom of that material gain energy and hence they emmit excessive energy in either visible spectrum of light or invisible spectrum in electromagnetic spectrum Example If we heat iron it glows bright red that is it radiates excessive energy in the form of red colour( as we percive)


What happens to water molecules as the temperature increases?

Water molecules will gain thermal energy as temperature increases. This will cause them to "move around" or "vibrate" more because they are thermally excited by increasing heat. At some point, the excitation is so great that the water, which we frequently see as a liquid, will evaporate or boil off to change state into a vapor or gas.


How do energy and changes in energy change the state of matter?

When heating a substance the substance's molecules gain kinetic energy, this leads to chemical bonds being broken and thus a change of state.


Which energy resource is not ultimately dependent on the sun's energy?

1. Atomic Energy Because the even without sun, the world remains in absolute zero. Even at that temperature atoms has an energy called Fermi Energy. Of course when the temperature increases atoms gain more energy. 2. Gravitational Energy 3.Electro Magnetic energy 4.May be electrical energy too

Requires a gain or loss of heat energy?

A temperature change requires as gain or loss of heat energy.


What happens to the temperatures of a substance while it is changing state?

It can lose or gain energy or it forms the attractions between particles.

When do most substances lose or gain energy?

Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.


What is the characteristic of matter that causes it to expand when the temperature increases and contract when the temperature decreases?

The characteristic of matter that causes it to expand when the temperature increases and contract when the temperature decreases is known as thermal expansion. This is because as the temperature rises, the particles within the material gain kinetic energy and move more, causing the material to expand. Conversely, when the temperature decreases, the particles lose kinetic energy and move less, leading to contraction.


When a solid melts do its particles gain or lose heat energy?

A material must gain energy both before and during melting.


Do semiconductor material have a very high resistance at room temperature?

No. As temperature increases, resistance of semiconductors decrease. This is because semiconductors have a small energy gap between their valence band and conduction band (in the order of 1 eV). Electrons must exist in the conduction band in order for the material to conduct but electrons exist in the valence band naturally. The electrons gain thermal energy for surroundings and jumps the energy gap from valence band to conduction band and hence, the SC material more readily conducts. As temperature increases, electrons can gain more thermal energy, more electrons can enter the conduction band and hence, resistance decreases.


When water cools to its freezing point does it have to gain energy?

this is tricky, bcoz it depends on the waters initial temperature. water can freeze/melt at 1 degrees C, so u dont need a change of temperature for water 2 change its physical state. if the water is initally at, lets say, 10 degrees c, then no it wont gain energy, infact it will have to release energy (think of energy as being heat, bcoz that is in fact what it is)


Does heat gain when boilng?

Heat energy - yes. Temperature - no.


How can energy be conserved if a substance must gain or lose thermal energy to change state?

Heat is a form of energy. It is just being transferred to the temperature bath (air, water, whatever). It hasn't been destroyed.


What happens when a material gets hotter?

Its particles gain energy and move faster. (See Kinetic Theory.) Eventually, they can change state (or burn, in some cases.
