Why does the temp of water not increase during a phase change?

These are phase changes - All the energy that is added at this time is used to change the phase of the substance.


A great amount of water vapor changes phase to become liquid water droplets in the clouds that form a thunderstorm Does this phase change release energy or absorb it?

a great amount of water vaptor change phase to become liquid water droplets in the clouds that form a thunderstorm. does this phase change release or absord energy? how do you know


What phase change will the greatest amount of energy be absorbed by 1 gram of water?

The liquid to gas phase change will absorb the largest amount of heat energy.


When does the energy of water increase?

The energy of water can increase if it is heated up, if it is placed under more pressure, if it changes phase, or if it flows faster. In phase change, increase of water's energy happens from: solid phase to liquid phase (melting), from solid phase to vapor phase (sublimation), and from liquid phase to vapor phase (evaporation). Increase in altitude also increases its potential energy.


What is the amount of energy can change a solid phase to a liquid phase?

Every element has its own energy requirement to change a solid to liquid form. This energy , for water. is 80 calories (333 Joules) to turn a gram of ice to liquid water.


Is energy required for each phase change?

Yes energy reqired during each phase change process. solid to liquid(water) = 333.7 Kj/kg liquid to vapour(water) =2257.1Kj/kg


Which phase change of the water cycle involves the release of energy?

Evaporation and condensation


When water boils and evaporates what 3 things change?

A phase change occur, energy is absorbed, water volume decrease.


What happens in the phase change of condensation?

In the condensation phase change, a gas cools (loses energy) and changes to a liquid. Example: water vapor turns into liquid rain.


What is happening to temperature when ice is melting to water?

Nothing - all energy goes into the phase change.


What is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degree Celsius?

phase change


What has the more heat energy at 100 degrees Celsius water or steam?

steam. It has to go through a phase change, which takes additional energy to get there.
