When a substance goes from a solid to a liquid, it is melting. Generally, it is easier to heat an object that has more surface area because it has more area being exposed to heat.

How do you remove a substance from a surface of a liquid?

To remove a substance from the surface of a liquid, you can use techniques such as skimming, decanting, or filtering. Skimming involves physically removing the substance from the surface with a tool like a spoon. Decanting involves carefully pouring the liquid to separate it from the substance at the surface. Filtering involves using a filter or sieve to separate the liquid from the substance.


What are surfactants?

A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved.


Heat is what in motion?

As energy is added to a substance, the particles that make up the substance vibrate faster. This is what causes substances to change state (solid to liquid to gas). As the particles move faster, the structure changes.


What is the difference between adsorption and condensation?

Adsorption is when a substance gets absorbed INTOthe surface of another substance.Condensation is when a substance collects ON the surface of another substance.

A substance change from a solid to a liquid at its boiling point. This is when it reaches a certain temperature.


Will a substance dissolve faster if it is ground into powder first?

The dissolution rate of a substance is affected by the surface area that can react with the liquid it is dissolving in. Powdering it increases the surface area so it increases the dissolving rate.

What is the name of the energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas?

The energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas is called the enthalpy (or heat) of vaporization.


Which is the phase change in which a substance change from a gas to liquid?

It is condensation.


How does increasing the heat energy of a substance change the behavior of particles of the substance?

Increasing the heat energy of a substance causes the particles to move faster and have more kinetic energy. This can lead to an increase in the substance's temperature, change in state (solid to liquid to gas), or possibly result in chemical reactions depending on the substance.
