How do molecules in a liquid state move around indefinitely without losing energy and stopping?
The molecules are kept in the liquid state by being above freezing temperture and below the vaporization temperture. They take the energy needed to stay in this form from their surroundings and if their surroundings are above freezing temperture and below vaporization temperture they will stay in the liquid state theoretically forever.
The state of matter in which water molecules are most energetic?
Water as steam in the gas state has the most energy compared to water in the liquid or solid state.
When a liquid becomes a solid where does the heat energy in the liquid go?
A gas has more heat energy, often called thermal energy, than a liquid, even if both the liquid and gas are at the same temperature. Consider that the gas molecules have more thermal energy than liquid molecules of that same substance. The gas molecules are "free" to move around more because they have more kinetic energy than molecules of the liquid. And kinetic energy is function of thermal energy. If we consider the case of water molecules to illustrate our point, when a pan of water is boiling, the water molecules escaping the pan as a gas have more kinetic energy than the ones making up the liquid water that is still in the pan. Also consider the case of water that is evaporating. Wet your finger and blow on it. The liquid water on your finger cools as the evaporating water molecules take thermal energy from that liquid to make their change of state possible. It takes an increase of thermal (heat) energy to change a liquid into a gas.
Does energy need to be absorbed to convert a liquid to a gas?
Yeah obviously.... Any matter in this universe tries to be more disordered state. By absorbing energy, Liquid state, in which molecules move less freely tries to be move more freely by absorbing energy and changing into gaseous state..
Do molecules have more freedom of movement in the solid state than in the liquid state?
No in a solid the molecules are fixed in position while in a liquid they can move around - that is why a liquid is 'liquid'.
Why polar gases liquefy easily than non polar gases?
Non polar gases have very low critical temperature. Non polar gases have weak forces of attraction between their particles. They cooled to very low temperature. Polar gases have high value of critical temperature. The inter molecular forces are very strong . So polar gases have better tendency to be converted into liquid.
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
Do molecules gain or lose energy from melting?
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Do molecules gain or lose energy from evaporation?
Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
Why does the temperature of a substace remain constant even though energy is being added?
As a liquid is heated that energy is translated into kinetic energy of the molecules. At boiling point the kinetic energy of the hottest molecules is sufficient to drive them off into the gaseous state. As more energy is added, more molecules are driven off. This carries large amounts of energy away, leaving the temperature of the liquid unchanged. The temperature will not rise until all liquid has entered the gaseous state.
Determine how energy is related to change in state?
Energy is used to do work against in separating the mutually attracive atoms or molecules from each other to change them from solid into liquid and from liquid into gaseous state.
What process could cause a material to change its state from gas to liquid?
removing energy from the molecules
What happens to energy when a liquid turns into gas?
When a substance is changing from liquid to gas, the energy, which is absorbed, causes the atoms (or molecules) to move at a higher rate of speed, so that they are not staying close together, like in the liquid state. So the absorbed energy increases the kinetic energy of the atoms (or molecules).
Particles in a liquid have less energy than particles in a. water b. a computer c. ice d. a gas?
In terms of kinectic energy molecules in soilid will have least energy. Molecules in lquid have less energy than in gases. Molecules in gaseous state have maximum energy. Entropy of a substance increases from solid to liquid to gas.
How do molecules in a liquid state move around indefinitely without losing energy and stopping?
The molecules are kept in the liquid state by being above freezing temperture and below the vaporization temperture. They take the energy needed to stay in this form from their surroundings and if their surroundings are above freezing temperture and below vaporization temperture they will stay in the liquid state theoretically forever.
What would have the most kinetic energy a hot gas a cool gas a solid a hot liquid or a cool liquid?
The molecules of a hot gas have the most kinetic energy. The molecules of a hot solid will contain the most energy per volume.
The state of matter in which water molecules are most energetic?
Water as steam in the gas state has the most energy compared to water in the liquid or solid state.
