What happens when thermal energy is added to dry ice and regular ice?

When thermal energy is added to dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), it undergoes sublimation and directly changes from a solid to a gas, without passing through a liquid phase. On the other hand, when thermal energy is added to regular ice (solid water), it melts into liquid water, and then if more energy is added, it evaporates into steam (water vapor).


What happens to the thermal energy when a solid melts?

When a solid melts, thermal energy is absorbed to break the bonds between the particles. This increase in thermal energy causes the particles in the solid to gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together, resulting in the solid turning into a liquid.


When a fuse wire melts the electrical energy is transfered as what 2 types of energy?

When a fuse wire melts, the electrical energy is transferred as heat energy and light energy.


How the energy of matter changes when it melts.?

When matter melts, the energy is used to break the bonds holding the solid structure together, causing the particles to move more freely. This increase in energy leads to a change in state from solid to liquid, without any increase in temperature. The energy required for melting is known as the heat of fusion.


What happens to water molecules as ice melts in terms of kinetic molecular thery?

As ice melts, the water molecules gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and break free from the rigid crystalline structure of the solid ice. This increases the molecular motion and allows the water molecules to move more freely, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.

What happens when dry ice melts?

Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.


What happens when ice gradually changes to water as a gas?

ice melts then it evaporates into a gas/steam


What happens to heat energy when a substance changes from solid to liquid?

it melts


What happens to the particles in an ice cube as the ice melts then avaprate?

As the ice cube melts, the particles in the solid ice gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position, allowing them to move more freely as a liquid. When the liquid water evaporates, the particles gain even more energy to break free from the liquid phase and become a gas.


What happens if enough heat energy is given tot he ice cube?

it melts


Which of the following happens when ice melts?

1st it "changes" into water, and if heated long enough, at high enough temperature, it "changes" to steam, then, it eventually evaporates.


What happens as ice melts and as water evaporates?

Melting is the transformation of a solid in a liquid.Evaporation is the transformation of a liquid in a gas.The chemical formula of water, ice, vapors is identical.


When a solid melts do its particles gain or lose heat energy?

A material must gain energy both before and during melting.


What happens what thermal energy is added top matter?

Then it will either get hotter, or its phase will change (as when ice melts).


What happens to snow when it rains?

When snow melts it does a lot of things it evaporates it goes under ground it get eaten by animals it also gets packed in the groundWhen snow melts it does a lot of things it evaporates it goes under ground it get eaten by animals it also gets packed in the ground


What is it called when solid turns to liqued and then to gas?

First, a solid melts, then a liquid evaporates
