When heat is added to water, the water will change into water vapor because of how hot it gets. We tend to see the water boiling in this process, or when you see the bubbles in your mom's pot in the kitchen when she cooks spaghetti. When heat is taken away from the water, it will turn into a solid form, or freeze into ice.

What is needed for the molecules in a solid state to change into the liquid state?

In order for molecules in a solid state to change to a liquid state, the substance needs to be heated. An increase in temperature causes more molecular movement (this leaves more space between each molecule) which results in what we see as the physical change from solid to liquid and then eventually liquid to gas.


Why does the temp of water not increase during a phase change?

During a phase change, the energy that is added or removed from the water is used to change the arrangement of water molecules rather than increase the temperature. This energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds between the molecules, leading to a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) rather than a change in temperature.


During a change in state energy is transferred in the form of?

Usually in the form of increased or decreased kinetic energy of the molecules and added or reduced inter-molecular potential energy. Which way it goes depends on the direction of change in state.


When heat energy is added the speed of the molecules?

To hasten chemical reactions.


Why does evaporation require that heat energy be added to a substance?

Evaporation requires heat energy to be added because it provides the molecules in a substance with enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together. As molecules gain energy, they move faster and escape the liquid phase, transitioning into the gas phase. This process leads to evaporation.

Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?

Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.


What happens to molecules as energy is added and the temperature increases?

As energy is added and temperature increases, molecules gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increase in movement can lead to stronger molecular interactions, changes in molecular configuration, and ultimately a change in the state of matter (e.g., from solid to liquid or gas).


Is heat energy being added or removed during boiling?

Heat energy is being added during boiling to change the liquid into vapor. This added heat energy causes the molecules in the liquid to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together, leading to the phase change.

What does the heating and cooling of molecules do?

Changes the movement of the molecules as the heat is added and subtracted.


How does the speed of the molecules change when ice changes to water?

When ice changes to water, the speed of the water molecules increases. In the solid state as ice, the molecules are held in a rigid structure and have minimal movement. As heat is added, the molecules gain energy, causing them to vibrate faster and break free from their rigid arrangement, resulting in the molecules moving more freely in the liquid state.


What occurs when heat is added to a liquid changing it to a gas?

When heat is added to a liquid, it causes the molecules in the liquid to gain energy and move faster. This increased movement causes the liquid to change into a gas through a process called evaporation or boiling.


When energy is added to molecules what happens to the substance?

they spread apart and move faster when energy is added.


Is energy added or is it released when boiling water is changed to steam?

Energy is added in the form of heat to change boiling water to steam. The added energy breaks the intermolecular bonds between water molecules, allowing them to overcome attractive forces and transition from liquid to gaseous state.

The added energy is used in the phase change to break intermolecular bonds.It is used for the phase change. ~ APEX
