Changing phase (solid, liquid, gas) requires energy. Adding energy allows the molecules to move apart and solid change to liquid or liquids change to gases.

When water is heated it changes from a solid to a what?

That one is easy. It becomes a gas. That process is called "Vaporation". The steam that comes out of the water is the gas. It only becomes a gas when the water boils.


What causes the phase in water to change?

The phase of water changes in response to temperature and pressure. When water is heated, it changes from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) at its melting point, and then to a gas (steam) at its boiling point. Conversely, when water cools down, it transitions from a gas to a liquid to a solid.


Why changes of stat are physical changes?

Changes in state are physical changes because they involve a change in the physical appearance or state of a substance without altering its chemical composition. For example, when water changes from a liquid to a solid (freezing) or a gas (vaporization), it is still water chemically. This contrasts with chemical changes, which involve a rearrangement of atoms and result in the formation of new substances.


What causes water to change to a different state?

Water changes state depending on its temperature and pressure. When water is heated, it can change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) to a gas (steam). When water is cooled, it can go from a gas to a liquid to a solid. These changes in state are due to the energy levels of the water molecules.


What are the six changes of state?

The six changes of state are: melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid).

Does solid change to liquid or gas changes to liquid?

Let's consider the case of ice. Ice is a solid. When heated, it gets transformed to water. Water is a liquid. Further heating changes water into gas. Thus, heat can change a solid into both liquid and solid form.

Four examples of changes in state are: solid to gas (sublimation), gas to solid (deposition), solid to liquid (fusion), and gas to liquid (condensation).Four examples of change on state are liquid to solid, solid to liquid, liquid to a gas, and gas to a liquid.


When does matter change state?

when water gains or loses heat, it changes its state. When liquid water gains heat, it changes its state from liquid to gas. It becomes water vapor. When solid gains heat, it melts an changes its state from solid to liquid. When gas loses heat, it condenses into liquid. Gas, to liquid. When liquid loses heat, it becomes solid


What are the phase changes of matter?

The phase changes of matter are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid). These transitions occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.


What process changes water into liquid?

Well, Water is already in a liquid form but water changes from liquid to gas and then back to liquid by the use of condensation. Water to a solid= Freezing Solid to Water=Melting Water to Gas= Condensation Hope ive helped, GOBster.
