The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.

Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?

The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.


What causes matter to change its state?

Temperature. Temperature causes matter to change state.


How can liquid water change into a solid state and into a gas state?

A liquid changes into a solid state when its particles start losing energy. This is usually due to a decrease in temperature because if there is less heat energy present, there is less kinetic energy produced in the particles. As the particles of the liquid continue to slow down its vibration speed, it becomes a solid. The word for this is known as freezing and the best example for it is the change of state from water (liquid) to ice (solid).


What is the change in condesation?

Condensation is when water vapour (steam) turns into a liquid. When water vapour are gas particles which have a lot of energy and go in all directions however when water vapor is cooled the particles lose energy and when they bump into each other they do not have enough energy to bounce again so they stay together and form a liquid


What is the name of heat energy that changes ice into water and water into steam?

Latent heat is the measurement of energy needed to change the state of a substance at its melting point or boiling point. The latent heat of fusion of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a solid to liquid at 0 degrees C. this works out to be more than 800KJ of heat energy. The latent heat of vaporization of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a liquid to a gas at 100 degrees C. this is more than 1200KJ of heat needed to be absorbed.

Difference between a pysical change and a chemical change?

Chemical change changes the electrons of matter, a physical change does not. Water is water as ice, water and steam, this is a change of state but physically there is no change of water it is a change of the energy content of water.


Explain what happens when we suply heat and energy to water till it change its state What is this eat energy called?

When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.


How is elements related to physical change?

Well, if you were for example discussing the the physical change of substance from one state to another, eg. Ice to liquid water than the relation to physics concerns energy. When discussing temperature change what you are in reality dealing with is how much energy a given substance or object contains.


How does a change on thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?

It causes matter to change by turning the water into gas which is vaporization, turning water into ice.

When you heat the ice it converts into water all the energy you provide is used for changing the state temperature remains the same then if you heat the water does the energy is used to change state?

Good grief, that's hard to parse. Let's break it down (and paraphrase a little): "When you heat ice at its melting point, the energy goes into changing the state and the temperature does not change." - yes, right so far. "If you then heat the water, is the energy used to change state?" - no, the energy goes into raising the temperature of the water until you get to the next phase change at 100 degrees Celsius. At that point, all the energy goes into changing the state again (into vapor this time). Once the liquid water is completely converted to vapor, the temperature will begin to rise again.


How does water change from one state to other?

As the heat is lost from the water substance, the H2O molecules lose energy and move around less. This makes the state change. It is also inversely true for when heat is gained. It adds energy to the molecules and they move around more.


What causes matter to change its state?

Temperature. Temperature causes matter to change state.


How does ice AND water and steam change its states of matter show with diagram?

actually change of state occurs because of the absorption of kinetic energy ice on absorbing heat increases its potential energy but not kinetic energy this is the reason why change of state occurs in the constant temperature this energy taken is used to overcome their force of attraction between the molecules because of which their spaces increases leading to change of state


What is the energy of the highest energy state?
