This is an incredibly complicated question; I recommend looking up evaporation in wikipedia. A brief, oversimplified answer is that there are attractive forces in H20 (water) molecules that hold it together, or else they would be separated (and thus be gas). Heat (thermo-kinetic energy) is actually vibrations in the molecules. Evaporation occurs when because of heat; basically the heat is shaking the molecules too hard for them to continue staying together.

What happens to solid liquid or gases when they absorb or release the amount of heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, it may melt and turn into a liquid. When a liquid absorbs heat, it may vaporize and turn into a gas. Conversely, when a gas releases heat, it may condense and turn into a liquid, and when a liquid releases heat, it may solidify and turn into a solid.


Change state from liquid to gas?

evaporate the liquid- heat the water up so it turn into gas.


How do you turn liquid into gas?

heat it to a boiling point and it will turn to steam and evaporate.


What makes a liquid turn into a gas?

evaporation or a sutin amount of heat


How do you turn a liquid to gas?

Heat it past its boiling point.


What is described by the equation H2O(l) plus heat H2O(g)?

The equation describes the process of liquid water (H2O(l)) undergoing a phase change into water vapor (H2O(g) ) when heat is added. This process is known as evaporation or boiling, depending on the temperature at which it occurs.


What is the change in state of H2O from liquid to gas?

The change in state of H2O from liquid to gas is called vaporization or evaporation. This process occurs when the liquid water absorbs enough heat energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together, allowing them to break free and escape into the gas phase.


Does it take heat to turn a liquid to a gas?

yes just like it takes heat to turn a solid into a liquid Yes. The more heat the faster movement of parts of mass (solid or liquid or gas). Power of fast movement than overcomes power keeping the thing together.</


How Can a solid can turn a gas?

The gas in a gas stove can heat up ice until it melts into water and then evaporates into water vapor.


When a liquid is heated it can turn into a gas you call this?

You call this process evaporation. When liquid turns into gas due to heat and pressure, evaporation is occurring.


How you can change a gas into a liquid?
