Water turns into steam by boiling, which means the water temperature rises above the boiling point (about 100°C in most cases, but it depends on the air pressure). Steam turns back into water by condensing, which means the temperature drops back below the boiling point.

What is the process used to turn liquid into steam called?

The process of turning liquid into steam is called evaporation. It involves heating the liquid to its boiling point, which causes the molecules to gain enough energy to escape into the surrounding air as vapor.


Is a steam from a kettle reversible?

Yes, the process of steam forming from a kettle is reversible. Steam can be condensed back into liquid water by cooling it down. This change from gas to liquid is reversible and can happen repeatedly.

How can ice water and steam be three states of a substance and not different substances?

Well you can prove they are the same substance by experimenting. If you boil liquid water it turns into steam and if you then cool the steam, it turns back into liquid water. If you cool liquid water it will freeze and turn into ice and then if you warm the ice it will melt and tun back into liquid water. Thus the common substance in all three states is the water. ------------------------------------------------------------- In general substance are either solid, liquid or gaseous at normal temperatures and pressures and if you heat the solids they will turn into liquid then gas and if you cool the gases they will tun into liquid and then solids. Solid, liquid and gas are 3 of the possible states of matter (there are other states possible)

How does a liquid turn in to a gas?

evaporation, heating a liquid will do this. put a pot of water on the stove and watch the steam come up, thats a liquid turning into a gas.


Is most of the water a solid or a gas or a liquid?

Well it is normally a liquid, but if you freeze it it turns into a solid, (ICE) and if you heat water it is a gas. (STEAM). And making steam cool down will turn into water and then freezing it will make it turn into ice again.WATER HAS A LIFE CYCLE


When does a solid turn into a liquid?

when ever you have like for EXAMPLE:Ice if you want it to turn to gas the you would have to steam it really hot that's what I think


What must you do to make steam into water?

Capture it in a container with a lid and let set at room temperature. It will eventually turn back into a liquid if you have enough steam


What is the difference between water and water vapours?

water is a liquid but water vapours is steam... when we boil water it will turn into steam which is called water vapours...


What is steam called when it is a liquid?

When steam is a liquid or goes into a liquid state via condensation, then it is no longer deemed as gas or steam. Thus it is called liquid.
