When the water molecules get really fast, they evaporate into gas, or water vapor. Water is liquid, water vapor is a gas made up of what's in water.

What kind of state change did some of the water go through to make it disappear?

The water went through a phase change from liquid to gas, in a process known as evaporation. The heat energy from the surroundings caused the water molecules to gain enough kinetic energy to escape into the air as water vapor.


Is the formation of clouds a physical or chemical change why?

Clouding is a purely physical process of condensing vaporous water into liquid water (also freezing or sublimating it to solid ice / hail / snow) . Chemically nothing has changed (water molecules stay unchanged, still being water) only there (physical) state (this is a kind of 'condition' of matter) has changed.


What kind of changes are melting and boiling?

Melting is a phase change where solid becomes a liquid. The latent heat of fusion must be supplied to produce phase change from solid to liquid. About 144 Btu must be supplied to change 1.000 pound of ice at 32 degrees F to 1.000 pound of liquid water at 32 degrees F. Boiling is a phase change where a liquid becomes a vapor. The latent heat of vaporization must be supplied to change a boiling liquid to a vapor. For water boiling at 14.7 psia ,970.3 Btu of heat must be supplied to change 1.000 pound of boiling liquid water to vapor.


What kind of change happens to water when is boiled?

physical changeIn gas phase the molecules take more room, move fasterover (1000 times) longer distances before collating to other molecules as compaired to liquid.


When a log burned to ashes in the fireplace what kind of changes this?

The burning of a log in a fireplace is a chemical change, as the wood undergoes combustion to produce ash, smoke, and gases. The log is transformed into new substances with different properties, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.
