What does a change form a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?
It involves a loss of thermal energy.
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
Does water lose absorb heat energy when it condenses?
The change of state of water from liquid to vapor, or the reverse from vapor to liquid, involves a fixed amount of thermal energy per unit mass, this is called the specific latent heat. To evaporate liquid water to vapor, heat must be supplied, whilst in condensing vapor to liquid, heat is released. Similar rules apply to water when it changes from liquid to ice, or ice to liquid. You can look up the amount of the latent heat in physical tables.
Do energy conversions occur without gain or loss of energy?
Almost all energy conversions involve a loss of energy.
When one form of energy is converted to another there is always a loss of this?
There is a loss of heat energy which is a waste product.
What makes a liquid a solid?
a loss in energy cause the change from liquid to solid like-wise a rise in energy causes a change from solid to liquid.
What does a change form a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?
It involves a loss of thermal energy.
What an result in the loss of energy in liquid?
The particles slip and slide past one another and lock in place tightly so that they are only able to vibrate, in other words they freeze and become solids.
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.
When a liquid becomes a what when losing enough energy?
when liquid loses enough energy then it will be transformed to the solid stat. For example if we get energy from liquid water then the water molecules can not move with same speed that they had before, therefore they will loss their activity and become solid. like ice
Does a chemical change result in a loss of matter and energy?
well only sometimes. it depends if the matter turns into gas and floats into the air then you will have a loss of matter. about the energy I'm not sure...
What exposure to mercury result in?
Exposure to mercury can result in a range of health effects, including damage to the nervous, digestive, and immune systems. Symptoms can include tremors, insomnia, memory loss, headaches, and impaired cognitive function. Severe cases of mercury poisoning can cause kidney failure and be fatal.
What is lost in an atom as a result of radioactive decay What equations relates this loss to energy produced?
Alpha decay is the loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons Beta-decay is the loss of a positron or electron Gamma decay is the loss of a photon The equation relates this loss to energy produced E=mc^2
How does Mercury effect the human body?
Mercury can cause memory loss, loss of coordination, vision problems
When a liquid is cooled the molecules in that liquid?
I assume you mean what happens to the molecules... They slow down due to the loss of kinetic energy when the liquid is cooled. When they are sufficiently cooled as to cause freezing, that's a different story.
When condensation occurs water changes from what?
Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it.
