The speed of both melting and evaporation depends upon the substance in question (you are probably thinking about water) and the temperature at which these phase changes are taking place. My own observation is that melting is usually faster than evaporation.

How do the 3 states change from one to another?

These phenomenons are called melting, boiling, vaporization, sublimation, deposition, evaporation.


What are the changes?

Sublimation, boiling, condensation, melting and freezing. One might include evaporation, though that does not happen at a particular temperature.


What are the different changes?

Sublimation, boiling, condensation, melting and freezing. One might include evaporation, though that does not happen at a particular temperature.


What are the 2 kinds of vaporization?

The vaporization that takes place below the surface of liquid is called boiling. The other one that takes place at the surface of a liquid is called evaporation


What determines the rate of evaporation?

One factor that affects the rate of evaporation is temperature. Warmer weather means a faster rate of evaporation. The density of the air or humidity in the surrounding air is also a factor. If the air is already humid, evaporation will take longer.


Give two differences between evaporation and boiling?

Evaporation takes place at all temperatures but boiling at one particular temperature When saturated vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure boiling takes place but evaporation is not so


Which distance is longer mile or meter?

A mile is longer, since it takes 1,609.344 meters just to equal one mile


Which planets take longer then earth to complete one rotation?

Venus takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, as it rotates very slowly clockwise. Mercury also takes longer than Earth to complete one rotation due to its slow spin.

The process that water goes through as it changes from one state to another?

Water changes states through the processes of evaporation, condensation, freezing, melting, and boiling. These processes involve gaining or losing energy to switch between solid, liquid, and gas states. For example, water evaporates to become a gas when heated and condenses back into a liquid when cooled.


Why does Jupiter have a longer year then Mercury?

Jupiter has a longer year than mercury because it takes longer for it to revolve around the sun.


How does the mass of ice cubes affect its melting time?

Yes. Keep in mind that it takes one BTU to reduce or increase the temperature of one cm3 water by one degree celsius. Per physics, cold moves toward hot, so the temperature of the ice can be said to move into the temperature of the water. (This can help you visualize the process). As the ice melts, it cools the water around it. The greater the volume, the longer the cooling process takes. This is also affected by the surface area and the amount of it in contact with the water. To break it down simply, the greater the volume of water, the faster the ice will melt.
