It gains energy because the molecules are spread out more and moving at a greater velocity.

Is heat energy being added or removed during boiling?

added


Are boiling and melting the same?

No boiling is heating and energy is added and melting the solid turns into a liquid.


When energy is added to liquid what does it change into?

The liquid is changed in a gas.


What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?

The boiling point increases, thus the water would stop boiling, unless more energy is suppled than before.


Water changes phases when heat is added or subtracted?

Boiling and melting are endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.


What can the state of matter be changed by?

A change in the state of matter occurs when heat energy is added or removed.


The fact that the heat energy which is added to the atom is released as light energy is proof of witch law?

Law of Conservation Energy(:


What happens when energy is added to water at 100 C?

Assuming that that is the boiling point (note: the boiling point varies, depending on pressure), then adding heat energy will make the water evaporate. Water at 100 degrees will become steam at 100 degrees.Instead of increasing the kinetic (movement) energy of the particles, the energy will increase their potential energy (the phase change).


What will the nonvolatile solute do to the freezing point of a solvent?

This is the property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. This is because of the solute absorbing the energy added to the system to heat its own molecules and so it would require more energy to boil the solvent. Likewise for freezing point depression, the molecules retain more energy.


Energy is released from ATP when a phosphate group is?

Hydrolyzed, or water is added to the bond.


Is vaporizing input or output of energy?

The evaporation and vaporization of water is an endothermic process. As water vaporizes it absorbs heat energy. The changing of phase from liquid water to gas also means an increase in kinetic energy.


Why pumice stone pieces are added to boiling water?
