The process of changing liquid water into a gas is called evaporation. Energy is added to the liquid water - generally in the form of heat. When enough energy is added, it allows the most energetic molecules at the surface of the liquid to break free of the liquid and enter the gas phase. The more energy that is added, the more water molecules will have enough energy to move into the gas phase. If enough energy is added, all the molecules will leave the liquid and from then on adding energy will just make the gas warmer.

Another way to change liquid water into gas is to drop the pressure above the liquid. In this case, it takes less energy for the molecules in the liquid to get away from the liquid so some of them will already be energetic enough to get away.

Any mass of liquid water will have a range of energies for the molecules, some will be low energy, others high energy with each collision between the molecules, they either gain or loose energy. If they gain enough energy, they can become energetic enough to escape the liquid as a gas. The higher the pressure, the more energy is required to become a gas. If the liquid water is in contact with some gas - air for example. The liquid will evaporate until the gas is saturated with water vapor. At that point the rate of water molecules dropping out of the gas back into the water (because they don't have enough energy to stay in the gas) is equal to the rate of water molecules escaping from the liquid to become gas. This point is also known as "equilibrium".

the change from a liquid state to a gas state is called the different forms of water or liquid. the gas state is called vaper or evanacense wich means the disaperance of water, or something else.

Change of a liquid to a gas?

The change of a liquid to a gas is Vaporization. Not to be confused with "Evaporation".


Can condensation change water vapor to liquid water?

Condensation is like when you make fog on a cool window and it makes little drops so no, condensation is a gas turning into a liquid. Freezing is turning a liquid into a solid and melting is a solid to a liquid and finally a liquid into a gas is evaporation. I hope that helped! :)


Does nitrogen change from a liquid to a gas at the same temperature at which water changes from liquids to a gas?

No it can not, their boiling points are vastly different.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, yes but the change will be explosive.If you poured liquid nitrogen into boiling water, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.If you poured boiling water into liquid nitrogen, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.Please don't try this, you will be severely injured!!!!!!


What causes gas to change to a liquid?

Gas turns to liquid when energy is lost. The density of a gas is much less that the density of a liquid. Thus, when energy is lost and the particles of the gas are able to condense, it becomes a liquid.


The physical change from one state of matter to another?

a phase change: solid to liquid: melting liquid to solid: freezing liquid to gas: vaporization gas to liquid: condensation solid to gas: sublimation gas to solid: deposition
