it vaporizes
As thermal energy increases, the substance's particles move faster, leading to an increase in temperature. Eventually, the substance may undergo a phase change (e.g., melting or boiling) or undergo chemical reactions if the increase in energy is significant enough.
If you mean by heating it... When you heat a substance, the thermal energy of its particles increases. This means that the particles will move around faster as they have a higher kinetic energy.
When a substance has a low specific heat, it means that it requires less energy to change its temperature compared to substances with higher specific heat. As a result, it heats up and cools down more quickly when energy is added or removed. This property affects how substances respond to temperature changes and can impact various physical and environmental processes.
When heat is added to or removed from a substance and the temperature remains the same, the thermal energy is being used to cause a phase change within the substance. This means that the added heat is causing the particles within the substance to change their arrangement or state of matter, rather than increasing their kinetic energy and raising the temperature.
As the individual atoms are warmed up, they move faster causing the substance to expand slightly. As a substance has energy added to it through heating, its Kinetic Energy becomes greater. Kinetic energy is the energy of Motion - the more the kinetic energy of the atoms of a substance means the faster the speed of motion of these same atoms.
The faster the molecules of a substance are moving, the warmer that substance is, because temperature is really a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance or object. For a substance to evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas, it has to become warmer. That means that the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
Endothermic is when a substance gains energy to melt or evaporate, on the other hand exothermic means when a substance gives out energy to freeze or conense :))
Whether total energy output is equal to the energy input depends on whether you have an isolated system. It is possible to put more energy into a system than leaves it and vice versa. In that case accumulation of energy in the system can be positive or negative. In general, the formula for the energy balance is: Energy in - Energy out = Change in contained energy (i.e. accumulation). Energy can be added to or removed from a system via work done on (or by) the system, heat added to or removed from the system, and mass added to or removed from the system. Energy can change form in a system or be added or removed from a system via such mechanisms as changes in kinetic energy, changes in potential energy, changes in pressure/volume, phase changes, changes in chemical composition (chemical reactions), etc. In steady state processes, accumulation has to be zero, so any energy input, by any means, must be balanced by energy output.
A physical change to a substance is a change in its state. This means that the substance goes from a solid to a liquid or gas, or vice versa.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles within a substance because as particles move faster or slower, their kinetic energy changes. A higher temperature indicates that particles are moving faster on average, while a lower temperature means they are moving slower on average. This relationship allows temperature to be a useful indicator of the energy of motion within a substance.
The word additive means a substance added to something in small quantities, typically to improve or preserve it. I hope this helped! <3 (:
The average kinetic energy of particles in a substance is directly proportional to the temperature of the substance. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases. This energy is associated with the motion of the particles within the substance.
