Evaporation because it requires 2,260 Joules to gain heat energy. Condensation, freezing, and melting require less Joules than evaporation.

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.
Does boil water gain or lose energy?
You have to put energy IN to keep it boiling, so the water molecules gain energy (from the heating source): the answer is 'GAIN energy' and NOT (as wrongly stated before) 'LOSE' it.water only looses energy when it turns into a solid.and adds energy when turning into a gas
What type of energy does water gain when it sits in the sun?
Heat energy
Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
lose
Does condensation lose or gain energy?
Condensation gives off energy. Matter is moving from the higher energy vapor state to a lower energy liquid state. This is an exothermic process.

Which process requires water to gain 540 calories of energy per gram?
Vaporization
Explain how photosynthesis results in a gain of energy?
during photosynthesis, energy is added along with carbondioxide and water inorder to produce caRBPHYDRATES
What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid called is there a gain or a loss of energy?
Such a temperature is known as Freezing point of the liquid, during the freezing process the system losses the energy.
Where do electrons come from and how it gains energy during the light reaction?
They come from Photosystem ll. Photosystem ll gets them by ripping the electrons off of water by a process called photolysis. Electrons gain energy first in Photosystem ll, then later in photosystem l, through the absorption of energy from light.
How do substances mixed in water affect its solubility?
---- ====== ====== When temperature rises in water, the molecules are activated and they gain energy to move faster. As a liquid the molecules are wide apart but not as much as in gases. The more energy they'll gain the more it will start changing into gases. This is how the process of evaporation is. The gas form of water is called water vapors.
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.
Does water gain energy when evaporated?
yes
Do hurricanes gain energy?
Yes. Hurricanes gain energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. A hurricane could never develop if it were unable to gain energy.

What is difference between osmoconformer and osmoregulator?
Osmoregulator have to use energy to gain or loss water, because their body fluids are different from their environment.(osmoregulation is the process an organism uses to balance the fluids/water)Osmoconformer, on the other hand is, are organisms that have body fluids that are the same as its environment.(They don't gain or loss water during osmosis. Therefor they don't have to worry about using energy to combine ammonia with carbon dioxide ---because they excrete ammonia)
What type of energy does water gain when it sits in the sun?
Heat energy
