ANSWERI don't understand how much energy is in a solid. Will someone please give an answer to this question...

HOW MUCH ENERGY IS IN A SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS???

Well actually solid has the least, liquid has moderate and gas is fast.

What has more energy gas liquid or solid?

Gas typically has more energy than liquid or solid forms of the same substance because the particles in gas have higher kinetic energy and move more freely. In contrast, particles in liquids and solids are more closely packed and have lower energy levels.


When solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium which phase solid or liquid contain the greater amount of energy?

The answer depends on the specifics of the question. The idea though, is that when they are in equilibrium, both the solid and the liquid should have the same amount of energy PER MOLECULE. The fact that there is a solid component and a liquid component means that either the solid is melting or the liquid is freezing. In most situations, that means that the temperature of the whole mixture is constant. Another idea is that the energy in the molecules can either be kinetic or potential energy. Basically, the more kinetic energy PER MOLECULE an object has, the higher the object's temperature. Furthermore, the more potential energy PER MOLECULE that the object has, the further apart the molecules are from each other. Combining these ideas, here are a few possible answers to your question. 1. There is more solid than liquid. On average, the solid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the liquid. The solid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid has more potential energy in total. The solid has more overall energy. 2. There is more liquid than solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. 3. There are equal amounts of liquid and solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid has equal kinetic energy as the solid due to the even split. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. These three are the main possibilities, and as can be seen in the details, the answer depends on the relative amounts of liquid and solid.


Does sublimation get more energy or less?

more. in any case, going from a solid to a gas requires more energy than going from a solid to a liquid. Considering Hess's Law, break down the reaction into two parts; solid to liquid, and then liquid to gas. Total energy of sublimation of the substance will be the sum of the two reactions.


Why does 1kg of solid gold contain less energy then liquid gold?

My guess is that anything liquid vs. anything solid always has more energy because it has more heat. The atoms in liquid gold have more energy so they bounce around more and spread apart, making it flow more, and expand. Solid gold has less energy so atoms are more still and come closer together making it solid.


Do liquid molecules have more energy than solid molecules?

Yes, liquid molecules generally have more energy than solid molecules. In a solid, molecules are held closely together in a fixed position, resulting in lower kinetic energy. In contrast, in a liquid, molecules have more freedom to move and slide past each other, leading to higher kinetic energy. This increased energy allows liquid molecules to flow and take the shape of their container, whereas solid molecules maintain a fixed shape and volume.

Does the process changing molecule of water from liquid to a gas take more energy then ice from a solid to a liquid?

Yes. Changing from liquid to gas is called vaporization, and requires more energy (in water) than to change from solid to liquid, which is called fusion.

Why does liquid glass have more thermal energy than the solid glass bowl?

When a material changes from a solid to a liquid, its particles have higher kinetic energy, leading to a higher thermal energy. In the case of glass transitioning from a solid bowl to a liquid state, the particles in the liquid glass have more freedom to move and vibrate, increasing their thermal energy compared to the solid state.


According to the kinetic-molecular theory the atoms of a gas have more energy than what other state of matter?

The atoms of a gas have more energy than the atoms in a liquid or solid state of matter. In a gas, the atoms are moving around freely and have higher kinetic energy compared to the more constrained motion of atoms in a liquid or solid.

Why does solid body weigh more in air than when immersed in a liquid?

the buoyant force of the liquid on the solid is more than the buoyant force of the air on the solid.
