What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?

Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.

Example of chemical to thermal energy?
You could burn a fire.
2 glasses of water have the same thermal energy must they have the same temperature explain?
How you can tell is the temperature between the two liquids. If one of the liquid's temperature is warmer than the other one, then that liquid has more thermal energy.
How can a cup of very hot tea have less thermal energy than a kettle of lukewarm water?
Even though the cup has very hot water it still has less thermal energy than the kettle because the kettle is larger than the cup therefor it has more liquid and more liquid = more molecules and the more molecules the more the heat energy ( thermal energy ) It does not matter how fast the particals are moving just how many there are , the cup has a lot less particals than the kettle so it has less thermal energy. This was wrote by an 11 year old just think about that .
What happens to water when it changes state from a liquid to a solid?
the water looses energy to become solid (freezing). This happens due to electrons (which transfer and store the energy) going to a lower state where the atoms get closer together. Therefore ice takes up a smaller volume than when it is in a liquid state.
What happens if coal gets exhausted?
We will have to use other sources of energy, preferably renewable, non-polluting ones (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
Explain what happens when we suply heat and energy to water till it change its state What is this eat energy called?
When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.
What happens to water when you add thermal energy to it?
It will either get hotter or evaporate, or perhaps a bit of both.
How are thermal energy and temperature alike?
If you increase temperature you increase thermal energy.If you double the amount you have the temperature does not change but the thermal energy does.Temperature and thermal energy are the same since they both use kinetic energy. Temperature uses the thermal energy when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy. The thermal energy uses the kinetic energy, when it's averged together with the kinetic enery and the others to make the thermal energy.==========================Answer #2:Wow !Temperature is to thermal energy as depth is to water.
What happens to the the energy from the sun when it changes liquid water into water vapor?
Evaporation
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
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.
Does water absorb thermal energy during condensation?
No, water releases thermal energy during condensation. It absorbs thermal energy during evaporation, which is why the evaporation of sweat cools your skin.
What happens to thermal energy in beakers as the water cools down?
due to convection, the movement of energy through a fluid or air, and also the first law of energy conservation, the thermal energy has convects throught the air to cooler regions, therefore cooling the beaker
Can a container of hot water have the same thermal energy as a container of cold water?
No, it can't have the same thermal energy. The hot water loses energy to the surroundings. Cold is an absence of energy, as energy is removed the water becomes cold.
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.
What form of energy changes water from liquid to gas?
Thermal Thermal
How can you change electrical energy to thermal energy?
you have to wear thermal clothing, then pour water over yourself, then grab a fork and stick it in the toaster. thermal energy :)
