What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules
Why evaporation is a cooling process?
according to kinetic theory,the temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules of a liquid.during evaporation,the escape of high energy molecules from the surface of a liquid,lowers the average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules and therefore,the temperature of the liquids falls down.thus evaporation is a cooling process.
What is the process of turning water into a vapor?
Vapor is one of the 3 usual states of matter. When the ave. kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance reach a certain point (different for all matter) the bonds holding the molecules together break apart. Such can occur when a substance is heated, for example. Those molecules that break away and leave the liquid state are regarded as vapor. If the substance is liquid water......the vapor is called water vapor.
What is it called when heat energy required to break up the attraction of liquid molecules?
When liquid molecules absorb enough heat energy, evaporation occurs.
Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in?
Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in catabolism. It is a type of metabolism that releases energy in the process.
What is the process called when fast moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to from water vapor?
evaporation i think but i am not sure
What process break down large molecules into smaller molecules?
Hydrolysis
What is the process called when water leaves ponds into the atmosphere and back to the ponds?
Vaporization (aka. evaporation) is the process in which the molecules in liquid water break their intermolecular forces of attraction and become gas molecules. These H2O gas molecules have no where to go, except into the atmosphere. So the process for when these gas molecules change back into liquid molecules and leave the atmosphere, (or when it rains) is called condensation. This water of course goes back into different water sources such as ponds, lakes, and oceans.

What process of going from a gas to a liquid?
When something changes state from a liquid to a gas, evaporation or boiling has taken place. The difference might be that in evaporation, atoms or molecules of the substance "break free" of the liquid and become a gas. In boiling, there is enough heat present that the change is rapid.
What heat energy required to break the attraction of liquid molecules is the heat of?
vaporization
What Heat energy required to break the attraction of liquid molecules is heat of?
vaporization
Where do particles of the dissolving substance go in the liquid?
They break up into individual molecules (or ions) and diffuse throughout the liquid.

What process uses oxygen to break down food molecules?
osmosis
