Does gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
When condensation occurs, it is a gain thermal energy.
When condensation occurs does does lose or gain thermal energy?
its loses thermal energy...
Does a gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
The gas begins to cool down, and lose thermal energy, and moves up in the ladder of the 3 states of matter. Gasses condense into liquids, liquids turn into solids. The higher up you go, the less thermal energy the object has.
How does a substance gain thermal energy?
substances can gain thermal energy by heating them or applying electric shocks
Does melting los or gain thermal energy?
A solid melts when it gains enough thermal energy.
Does condensation lose or gain energy?
Condensation gives off energy. Matter is moving from the higher energy vapor state to a lower energy liquid state. This is an exothermic process.
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.
What happens to thermal energy during the process of conduction?
conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance. argo the thermal energy is represented as an increasing variation from base levels of vibration.
What will happen to the molecules or atoms of a substance when it melts?
the atoms will begin to giggle around more as they gain thermal energy.
When condensation occurs dose a gas lose or gain thermal energy?
It loses energy. When energy is applied to any liquid the electrons start to orbit the nucleus faster meaning it's orbit enlarges causing the entire liquid to expand to the point of changing states. When a gas loses energy the electrons spin more slowly causing the gas to shrink to the point of turning to a liquid. So tecnically gas doesn't lose energy when it changes state but in order for it to change state it must lose energy.
Do molecules gain or lose energy from evaporation?
Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
During which process does water gain the most heat energy?
Evaporation because it requires 2,260 Joules to gain heat energy. Condensation, freezing, and melting require less Joules than evaporation.
