Is ice melting an example of thermal energy?
Ummm . . . let's just say that thermal energy is used to melt ice.
What heppens to matter when you add thermal energy?
When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
What happens when a object gains thermal energy?
Then it will either get hotter, or change its phase (for example, when ice melts).
When dry ice disappears does the thermal energy decrease or increase?
i think the thermal energy increases because thermal energy is the energy which is due to the movement of particles, so when the the particles are released there is more thermal energy(they against each other).

Where is the thermal energy coming from causing dry ice to sublimate?
It's the same principle as if a liquid is evaporating, for example. It requires thermal energy to evaporate the liquid, or to sublimate a solid; therefore, this process will cool down (in this example) the dry ice, and the surrounding air.
How much energy does it take to melt ice?
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
How can the temperature of substance remain the same even if the substance is absorbing thermal energy.?
For example, when ice is melting, the absorbed thermal energy is used to change the phase of the substance - a type of potential energy.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.

Does a block of ice contain heat energy?
It depends upon the condition of the ice and the environment it is in. For example, a block of ice in room temperature does not give off energy - to the contrary, it absorbs energy as it melts. . But a block of ice at -5oC that is set in freezer that is -20oC will give off its thermal energy until the block of ice's temperature falls to the freezer's temperature.
How can you add thermal energy to a substance without increasing its temprrature?
That happens when there is a phase transition; for example, when ice melts, it takes energy to convert ice at zero degrees, to water at zero degrees.
What energy is involved in ice changing to liguid?
Thermal energy, melting of ice is a physical change of phase.
When dry ice disappears does the thermal energy decrease or increase?
i think the thermal energy increases because thermal energy is the energy which is due to the movement of particles, so when the the particles are released there is more thermal energy(they against each other).
What type of energy is used when a hot spoon is set on ice cream melting the ice cream?
thermal energy
