The particles in a liquid are very close together, so an increase in pressure cannot push them any closer. The particles in a gas are widely spaced, so they can easily be forced closer together. Gases are compressible, liquids are not.

decreased heat, increased pressure


What is the change of state from gas to liquid called and explain why?

This process is called condensation.


What is happening to liquid evaporation in terms of bond and energy levels?

Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas, therefore it involves increased energy and decreased bonding on the molecular level.


When a liquid and its vapor are at equilibrium and pressure is suddenly decreased cooling occurs why?

Since the volume did not change, then a decrease in pressure has to change the temperature as well. The change in pressure decreased the kinetic motion and energy of the molecules, so the temperature correspondingly drops. This follows Gay-Lussac's Law where P1T2=P2T1


How the water changes from gas to liquid what happened to its particles .explain?

When water changes from a gas to a liquid, it undergoes condensation. In this process, the water vapor cools down, causing its particles to slow down and come closer together. This results in the formation of liquid water droplets due to the attraction between the particles, leading to a change in state from gas to liquid.


What happen to the ices molecules during this phase change?

The ice (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase, also the attraction forces.

What happens to snow molecules during phase change?

During a phase change from solid snow to liquid water, the snow molecules absorb heat energy and gain enough kinetic energy to break their bonds and transition into liquid form. This process is called melting.


How can a boiling liquid boiling point can be decreased?

By reducing the ambient pressure.

Bubbles begin to form in a sample of liquid but the temperature did not change What must happened to cause the change?

The likely cause of bubbles forming in a liquid without a change in temperature is a decrease in pressure. When pressure decreases, gases dissolved in the liquid can come out of solution and form bubbles. This phenomenon is known as cavitation.


What turns from a liquid to gas?
