When water boils, it is because all of the molecules are being provided with the energy necessary to change phase, from liquid to gas (water vapor).
The addition of energy (heating) allows the molecules to break their bonds and form water vapor, commonly known as steam (a process known as evaporation). The atoms in the water vapor carry away this heat energy as they rise higher into the air, before quickly losing this energy to the surrounding air.
The molecules still inside the bulk of the water should theoretically all do this, if other factors didn't interfere. The energy is transferred from most of the molecules into the others; these are the ones that evaporate. So as these molecules evaporate, they take heat from the rest of the water with them. The convection currents in the air absorb this heat and prevent its return, and your water cools down.
What else can I help you with?
When you take heat from water it turns into?
Boiling water will produce steam (water vapour). Eventually, if boiled long enough, all the water will have evaporated, with the risk of the bottom of the pan or kettle melting.
Why is steam made when you boil water?
Steam is created when water is boiled because the heat causes the water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from liquid form and turn into a gas. This gas is what we see as steam rising up from the boiling water.
A kind of engine that uses water steam or heat?
A steam engine uses water, steam, and heat.
When water is boiled what kind of energy conversion is this?
When water is boiled, thermal energy (heat) is being converted into kinetic energy, causing the water molecules to move faster and eventually escape as steam. This process involves a transformation of heat energy into mechanical energy.
What is steam used for?
Steam is often used for power generation. Apply heat to water, steam (pressure) then used to turn a turnbine and generate electricity. Imagine if you boiled water in an encloded pot (air-tight lid). The pressure will build and you can use this pressure to generate power.
What is the use of latent heat in vaporization?
Calculating heat absorbed or released when any gas / liquid transformation takes place. I'm not an engineer, but I would imagine these calculations are performed in designing steam plants to make electricity. Water must be boiled, the steam runs thru a steam turbine, then it is condensed into water and is recycled ... boiledto steam ... thru turbine ... condensed etc.
What is steaming?
Steam is hot vapor water that turns invisible after expanding. Steam is also a game distributor/library on your computer. When we boiled water, water get vaporized and they produces steam.
How does natural gas make electricity?
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boiled water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.
When water evaporates what happens to the molecules?
When the heat is added to water, the atoms in the water particle get enough energy, they end up being so poweful, they are able to pull away from other atoms and bounce around. It's sort of like heating water, the water is getting boiled and the water turns to steam. When energy/heat is taken away from the gas form, the steam turns back into a water form. To make it simple, The molecules get energy from heat.
What evaporates faster a cup of water by the sun or a cup of water boiled?
a cup of water that is boiled since it gives more heat.
What is the average temperature of boiled water?
Boiled watr from a kettle has an average temperature of 99 degrees celcius.
Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
