Why does dry ice change into a gas faster in warm water rather than cold water?

Molecules of carbon dioxide must absorb heat energy to change from solid to gas. Warm water contains more heat energy than cold water.


How do you convert chemical to mechanical?

Coal is a chemical compound which contains chemical energy. To convert coal into mechanical energy, you use it (burn it) to produce heat and use the heat to boil water, the steam from which will drive a steam engine which delivers mechanical energy.


how on heating a liquid at its boiling point heat energy converted to potential energy?

You are transferring the heat into the water and changing it into steam. Steam has potential energy that can be released by cooling and expansion. This potential energy is released either in heat or can be converted back to kinetic energy by its expansion. This is how power plants work. Some fuel is burned to heat water to steam. Which contains potential energy converted from the heat of the burning fuel. This potential energy releases heat and kinetic energy as it is allowed to expand pushing and driving the turbines that turn the electric generators, and thus the kinetic energy is, by way of the generator converted to electric energy.


What energy does hot water have?

If you mean the water in the oceans, it is the sun's energy that does this. Water absorbs Kinetic Energy to 'heat up'. Therefore, any energy source that can impart Kinetic Energy to Water will heat it.


What is the best way to distribute heat in water?

kinetic energy turns into heat energy which heat's the water SLOWLY (keep frantically moving) ;D

What is the definition for thermal energy for kids?

thermal energy is energy in the form of heat.


Which contains more heat energy water at 373K or steam at 373K Why?

it is steam because it occupies latent heat of fusion ..............


Which heat is stored in water vapour?

The heat is stored in water vapour is latent heat.Latent heat describes energy that is not stored as the internal energy (i.e. temperature) of an object but in its phase state.For example, in the atmosphere heat that is transported by an air parcel that contains more water vapor than its surroundings. Because energy is needed to turn water into water vapor, water vapor is a way for a body to store energy (along with potential energy, kinetic energy, and sensible heat). If the water vapor is returned to a liquid or solid phase (by condensation or sublimation), the stored energy is released as sensible heat.


What is the amount of water in a joule?

A Joule is a derived unit of energy, work, or amount of heat in the International System of Units. It contains no water.


Why does water melt ice?

Water is "warmer" than ice. Or, to be more precise, liquid water contains more heat energy than solid water.

True or false 10 g of ice contains less heat energy than 10 g of water?

True


Does ice cold water have more eneergy than cold tap water?

The energy content of still water isolated from external energy sources is generally thermal energy, and "cold" is in actuality the absence of heat. Thus the colder the water is, the less thermal energy it contains.


What gas plants use to produce chemical energy?

Gas contains potential chemical energy because it contains carbon and hydrogen. Both these elements can react with oxygen taken from the air to produced carbon dioxide, water vapour and a lot of heat. The heat can be used to drive a heat engine (usually a turbine), either directly or via water boiled into steam.


Why on heating a liquid to boiling point heat energy is converted to potential energy?

the heat is a form of energy...and heat is stored is the water...so heat energy become potential energy because heat is stored in water


Does energy flow into or out of water when it is turning into ice?

It must flow out, ice contains less energy than water. You just have to remember that heat is energy, and all energy, no matter what form, eventually winds up as heat. Take heat energy out of water, it gets cooler, and eventually freezes. Add heat energy to ice, it first changes state to liquid, and then starts to get warmer. Keep adding heat energy to it, it keeps getting warmer and warmer. Keep additing heat energy to it, and eventually it changes state to gas ... called "steam". Take heat energy out of the steam, it first changes state to liquid, then gets cooler. etc. etc.
