The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)


What is it called to go from a solid to liquid for kids?

The process of going from a solid to a liquid is called melting. When heat is applied to a solid, such as ice, it turns into a liquid form, which is water.

What state of matter must be supplied with the most energy to turn it into a gas And why?

Solid, because it goes through a longer process than the Liquid. Thus, the Liquid doesn't need as much energy as a solid.


What is the engery required to go from liquid to gas called?

The energy needed to go from a liquid to a gas is referred to as heat of vaporization.


What is the change of a gas to a solid?

gas to liquid = condensation liquid to solid = freezing the gas must go through a liquid state, Even if for a millisecond.


Which state has the most energy solid liquid or gas?

A solid has the most energy, it is the most tightly packed, then a liquid as the particles have more space, then a gas as the particles are free and there are less of them. Hope this helps. if you go to google images, you will also know what I mean


What is it called when a substance can go from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid?

sublimation


What temperature will an object go from a solid and a liquid?

There is no fixed speed for the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase. The maximum speed this can happen at is the speed of light as this is how fast the energy can be transferred to a molecule, and there is no minimum speed. Some substances do not melt into a liquid. Instead they make the transition straight from solid phase into gas phase, and this is called sublimation.


When a liquid becomes a solid where does the heat energy in the liquid go?

A gas has more heat energy, often called thermal energy, than a liquid, even if both the liquid and gas are at the same temperature. Consider that the gas molecules have more thermal energy than liquid molecules of that same substance. The gas molecules are "free" to move around more because they have more kinetic energy than molecules of the liquid. And kinetic energy is function of thermal energy. If we consider the case of water molecules to illustrate our point, when a pan of water is boiling, the water molecules escaping the pan as a gas have more kinetic energy than the ones making up the liquid water that is still in the pan. Also consider the case of water that is evaporating. Wet your finger and blow on it. The liquid water on your finger cools as the evaporating water molecules take thermal energy from that liquid to make their change of state possible. It takes an increase of thermal (heat) energy to change a liquid into a gas.
