When heating a substance the substance's molecules gain kinetic energy, this leads to chemical bonds being broken and thus a change of state.
What else can I help you with?
What is needed for matter to change states?
For matter to change states, energy must be added or removed. In a solid-liquid phase change, energy is added to break intermolecular forces. In a liquid-gas phase change, energy is added to overcome intermolecular forces and increase kinetic energy.
When matter changes can it absorb heat energy or release heat energy without a corresponding change in temperature?
no.
How do you change one state of matter to another?
To change one state of matter to another, you need to either add or remove heat energy. For example, to change a solid to a liquid, you would need to add heat energy to melt the solid. Similarly, to change a liquid to a gas, you would need to add heat energy to evaporate the liquid.
How does the kinetic theory of matter relates to the Alchemist's water distillery and apply it to each step of the process?
The Alchemist needs to apply heat to the particles to change their kinetic energy and make them change states of matter.
What can changes energy?
Energy can change state of matter. Heat can be used to melt ice.
What are some things that cause matter to change?
Energy (heat, radiation, ,,,)
Can you change a state of matter without increasing or decreasing heat energy?
No.
What is the leading cause for change between states of matter?
An increase of decrease in the amount of energy within that substance initiates the state change. For example the heat of fusion from ice to water is 334kj/kg which means if i have 1kg of ice at 0 degrees Celsius (or -32 Fahrenheit) I have to add 334kj of energy to it in order to change it to 1kg of water at 0 degrees.
What can the state of matter be changed by?
A change in the state of matter occurs when heat energy is added or removed.
What is needed for matter to change phase?
Heat is needed for matter to change form eg: Melting, condensation, etc.
When heat is absorbed is it a chemical change?
No. Rather released. As during the physical changes in the states of matter, there is breaking of bonds involved. Whenever bonds are broken, the atoms of that matter come closer and energy they give out is more as compared to energy taken while breaking bonds. Hence, Physical changes at the level of states of Matter are always Exothermic i.e. RELEASING HEAT.
How does radiation transfers heat energy?
Radiation and heat energy are manifestations of the same thing. Heat is a measure of kinetic energy. Radiation is the emanation of particles or energy that can interact with matter and, as such, change its kinetic energy and, thus, its heat.
