Heat. Ice, solid water, at 32 degrees F needs 144 btus of heat per pound to liquify completely. Water at 212F needs 970.3 btus per pound to evaporate completely into dry steam. Water vapor (visible steam), in air, {say from a pot} is actually about 3 to 10% dry steam and only required about 28 to 100 btus per pound to vaporize and become airborne, This is an odd characteristic of water, that varying proportions of dry steam will carry large amounts of liquid water along with it as it evaporates (Wet Steam).
Water can exist in all three states at the same time, in the same general vicinity. Ice floats on liquid water and the air around it will also contain some amount of water vapor (humidity).

Does solid change to liquid or gas changes to liquid?

Let's consider the case of ice. Ice is a solid. When heated, it gets transformed to water. Water is a liquid. Further heating changes water into gas. Thus, heat can change a solid into both liquid and solid form.


When does matter change state?

when water gains or loses heat, it changes its state. When liquid water gains heat, it changes its state from liquid to gas. It becomes water vapor. When solid gains heat, it melts an changes its state from solid to liquid. When gas loses heat, it condenses into liquid. Gas, to liquid. When liquid loses heat, it becomes solid


What process changes water into liquid?

Well, Water is already in a liquid form but water changes from liquid to gas and then back to liquid by the use of condensation. Water to a solid= Freezing Solid to Water=Melting Water to Gas= Condensation Hope ive helped, GOBster.
