Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIm not entirely sure what you are asking, please be more specific... a liquid changing into a gas is called evaporation
Wiki User

How is the state of mattr related to the amount of energy in a substance?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another solid that becomes liquid and the liquid becomes gas
Does liquid lose chemical energy when frozen?
No. It loses thermal energy.
What is the process by which the liquid in a thermometer or section of a sidewalk increase volume at a higher temperature?
thermal expantion
The process by which a solid becomes a liquid?
A solid becomes a liquid by the solid's molecules spreading farther apart until the point that it becomes a liquid because the temperature increases which causes the moecules to separate until liquid.
Occurs when water vapor changes to liquid water?
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat
How are states of matter and changes in energy related?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another eg. solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gas.
How is the state of mattr related to the amount of energy in a substance?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another solid that becomes liquid and the liquid becomes gas
What is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid called is there a gain or a loss of energy?
this process is the process of gaining thermal energy. As any matter changes state from solid to any other form it will require energy. As energy is exerted on the solid perssure or electric or thermal or other type, the solid will obsorb the energy and change state. The solid thereby will in turn and at a ratio, increase the thermal energy it consumes.
How does liquid become gas?
When gas cools down it becomes a liquid. (The less thermal energy the slower the molecules move)
What is added until ice becomes a liquid?
The addition of thermal energy, or heat, if you prefer, will turn solid water (ice) into a liquid by melting it.
When a sample of liquid is cooled its thermal energy?
When a sample of liquid is cooled its thermal energy goes to its surroundings
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.
How can a liquid expand without changing state?
A liquid can expand when thermal energy is absorbed which is known as thermal expansion, but the thermal energy is not enough to change the liquid's state. When there is enough thermal energy, the liquid may change to a gas if the particles move fast enough to escape the liquid or it may change to a solid if the thermal energy is released from the matter.
How does The path of Thermal energy in a refrigerator?
The path of thermal energy in a refrigerator is that the thermal energy is removed from the gas, it condenses, or become liquid.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance during a change of state?
it will increase or decrease depending on the states. from solid --> liquid or liquid --> gas it is positive and endothermic, and thermal energy is increasing from liquid --> solid or gas --> liquid it is negative and exothermic, and thermal energy is decreasing
A person places a metal spoon that is at room temperature into a bowl of hot soup how will the thermal energies of the spoon and the soup be affected?
the spoon will increase in thermal energy, and the soup will decrease in thermal energy. Reason: Thermal energy is the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object. When the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases enough, it melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than its solid state. If the liquid continues to gain thermal energy, its particles speed up more. When the particles of a liquid have absorbed enough energy to escape the forces between them, the liquid becomes a gas. The substance has undergone another phase change. As the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object increases, the object gets warmer. Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one.
Does liquid iron has less thermal energy or more thermal energy?
Iron naturally exists in solid state and heat is required for its liquifaction so liquid iron has high thermal energy.
