Best Answer

the water will absorb some of the energy and become warmer than its starting temperature until it reaches its boiling point (212 °F or 100 °C) and then the water will boil as it is turned from a liquid to a gas know as steam, which it will do until all the water is boiled away.

Explain what happens when we suply heat and energy to water till it change its state What is this eat energy called?

When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.


What happens to water when you add thermal energy to it?

It will either get hotter or evaporate, or perhaps a bit of both.


What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?

Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.


What happens if energy is added to or remove from a glass of water?

If a sufficient amount of energy is added to a glass of ice water, the ice will melt, and if a sufficient amount of energy is removed, the water will freeze solid.


Is vaporizing input or output of energy?

The evaporation and vaporization of water is an endothermic process. As water vaporizes it absorbs heat energy. The changing of phase from liquid water to gas also means an increase in kinetic energy.


What happens to the the energy from the sun when it changes liquid water into water vapor?

What is oceanic thermal energy?

Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.


What is the amount of thermal energy that must be added to change ice at the melting point completely into water?

About 333 joules / gram.


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 water absorb thermal energy during condensation?

No, water releases thermal energy during condensation. It absorbs thermal energy during evaporation, which is why the evaporation of sweat cools your skin.
