How and why does typhoons gain energy from warm ocean water?
When ocean water is warm, a lot of water vapor evaporates from it. If air laden with that water vapor rises, as it often does it will cool and the water vapor will condense, which releases energy.
When water vapor loses energy what phase change occurs?
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
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.
How would you use the particle theory to explain what happens when radiant energy form the sun heats a pond?
RRadiant energy from the sun strikes the water particles at the surface of the pond. The water particles gain energy and break free of the water. Thus, the liquid water particles escape to form water vapor.
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.

What happens when water vapor it gain energy?
It becomes hotter vapour.
When water goes through condensation do the molecules gain or lose energy?
When water gains energy the water molecules turn into vapor also known as Evaporation.
When water vapor loses energy what phase change occurs?
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid

What happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
This phenomenon is called evaporation. Water molecules at the water surface gain sufficient energy to be released in the atmosphere.
Is water vapor gaining or losing energy durning evaportaion?
Water vapor will have more energy than the water. Mainly, this is a kind of potential energy, related to the molecular attractions.
What happens when heat is add to steam?
Adding heat to water vapor will just cause the molecules to gain energy and move faster. As long as the amount of energy added is not extraordinary, this is all that will happen. At extremely high temperatures, the water vapor may convert to hydrogen and oxygen gas.
What best explains what happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?
It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.
Occurs when water vapor changes to liquid water?
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat
