When energy is added to a liquid and it changes into a gas it is called?
When enough energy is added to a liquid for it to change to a gas, the liquid has reached its _______________
What happens when heat is taken away from liquid water?
if heat energy is being removed from water, then the water will solidify forming ice because of the unique property of water called high heat fusion. this property protects animals at lower temperature from freezing. >> gigi_011:))
What is the process where a gas loses thermal energy then becomes a liquid?
condensation
What happens when you heat a liquid water to a high temperature?
Steam.
What are the differences between freezing and melting?
When you melt something, for instance an ice cube, you are suppling enough heat energy to break intermolecular bonds between molecules so there are enough free molecules to change state. When you freeze water, you are cooling it down enough so that the molecules stop moving enough for intermolecular forces to have an effect, essentially holding the molecules in a structure that, to the eye, is ice. Freezing is the transition from liquid to solid (heat is being lost from the system). Melting is the transition from solid to liquid (heat is being gained by the system)
When a liquid becomes a what when losing enough energy?
when liquid loses enough energy then it will be transformed to the solid stat. For example if we get energy from liquid water then the water molecules can not move with same speed that they had before, therefore they will loss their activity and become solid. like ice
The change of water from a gas to a liquid?
The process of changing liquid water into a gas is called evaporation. Energy is added to the liquid water - generally in the form of heat. When enough energy is added, it allows the most energetic molecules at the surface of the liquid to break free of the liquid and enter the gas phase. The more energy that is added, the more water molecules will have enough energy to move into the gas phase. If enough energy is added, all the molecules will leave the liquid and from then on adding energy will just make the gas warmer. Another way to change liquid water into gas is to drop the pressure above the liquid. In this case, it takes less energy for the molecules in the liquid to get away from the liquid so some of them will already be energetic enough to get away. Any mass of liquid water will have a range of energies for the molecules, some will be low energy, others high energy with each collision between the molecules, they either gain or loose energy. If they gain enough energy, they can become energetic enough to escape the liquid as a gas. The higher the pressure, the more energy is required to become a gas. If the liquid water is in contact with some gas - air for example. The liquid will evaporate until the gas is saturated with water vapor. At that point the rate of water molecules dropping out of the gas back into the water (because they don't have enough energy to stay in the gas) is equal to the rate of water molecules escaping from the liquid to become gas. This point is also known as "equilibrium".
When energy is added to a liquid and it changes into a gas it is called?
When enough energy is added to a liquid for it to change to a gas, the liquid has reached its _______________
What might happen if enough energy is absorbed by liquid water?
The temperature will rise, and the water will evaporate.
How does water evaporate during summertime?
Heat energy from the sun gives the water enough energy to change from a liquid into a gas (evaporation)
When water at 0.c freezes is heat lost or gained?
As heat is a form of energy, it isn't lost or gained, it's just converted into another form of energy.

What happens to water vapor when energy is taken away?
If enough energy is taken away from water vapour, it will condense to form water (in liquid form). This is because a gaseous state requires more energy than a liquid state (and a liquid state requires more energy than a solid state).
How does the sun's energy help in changing the state of water?
If the sun is hot enough it will turn the liquid water into vapor.
How do you change water into water vapour?
By heating the water. Boiling it, which would turn it into steam (a gas). The process of changing liquid water into a gas is called evaporation. Energy is added to the liquid water - generally in the form of heat. When enough energy is added, it allows the most energetic molecules at the surface of the liquid to break free of the liquid and enter the gas phase.

How water changes to a gas?
Like all other liquid to gas transitions, liquid water changes to gas: by absorbing energy from its surroundings or by having energy added to it. The molecules in a mass of water will have a distribution of energies, as will the gas above the surface. When a molecule at the surface collides with another molecule of sufficient energy, it can absorb energy from the collision and potentially acquire enough energy to escape from the liquid. If energy is being added to the liquid - as heat or agitation - there are more molecules with sufficient energy to make this happen. Energy can also be added directly to the liquid at the surface in the form radiant energy - such as the sun shining on it. A molecule can absorb this energy directly and thus gain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid.
What happens when liquid water molecule gain energy and escape?
evaporation, or boiling if the temp. is high enough
