When heat energy is given to a solid, the particles gain kinetic energy and begin to vibrate faster, eventually reaching a point where the solid melts into a liquid. In a liquid, the heat energy causes the particles to move more freely and increases the distance between them, leading to the liquid eventually boiling and turning into a gas.

When a liquid becomes a solid where does the heat energy in the liquid go?

A gas has more heat energy, often called thermal energy, than a liquid, even if both the liquid and gas are at the same temperature. Consider that the gas molecules have more thermal energy than liquid molecules of that same substance. The gas molecules are "free" to move around more because they have more kinetic energy than molecules of the liquid. And kinetic energy is function of thermal energy. If we consider the case of water molecules to illustrate our point, when a pan of water is boiling, the water molecules escaping the pan as a gas have more kinetic energy than the ones making up the liquid water that is still in the pan. Also consider the case of water that is evaporating. Wet your finger and blow on it. The liquid water on your finger cools as the evaporating water molecules take thermal energy from that liquid to make their change of state possible. It takes an increase of thermal (heat) energy to change a liquid into a gas.


What name do we give the change from liquid to solid?

"freezing" "solidification"


What happens when you give more energy to particles?

When more energy is given to particles, they gain a higher velocity and can collide more frequently with other particles. This can lead to an increase in temperature, pressure, or other dynamic properties of the system. In some cases, providing more energy can also cause particles to change state (e.g., from solid to liquid or gas).


Can energy cause substances to change phase?

Yes it does. Changing between the forms requires energy to be lost or gained depending on the direction the substance is changing. Changing from solid to liquid or gas and changing from liquid to gas both require inputs of energy to the substance, and changing from gas to liquid or solid or from liquid to solid releases energy from the substance to the environment, all at constant temperature.

Does solid have more energy than liquid?

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.


Does a liquid give off energy when it turns into a solid?

Yes. It releases heat into the surrounding environment, at the very least


Can you give me the characteristics of freezing?

The characteristics of freezing is when water (or any other liquid) turns into a solid. This happens when the liquid gets cold and the molecules get closer together. When the molecules get closer together, they form a solid (ice).


What happen when liquid mixed with solid?

If the solid is soluble (can dissolve) then it will dissolve in the liquid and give you a solution.


When a liquid freezes does it give off heat?

yes as long as there is movement in the atoms there is heat. When a liquid freezes heat is removed to the freeze point, but there is still heat in the liquid


Give an example of heat turning a liquid into a solid?

Heat cannot turn a liquid into a solid. On cooling, the molecules lose their energy and they move slowly. The inter molecular forces of attractions become strong, molecules come close to each other and held together as a solid.


Which state changes require heat and which gives off heat?

Endothermic processes require heat to occur, such as melting and vaporization, because energy is absorbed from the surroundings. Exothermic processes give off heat, such as freezing and condensation, because energy is released to the surroundings.

What are the steps you would use to find the volume of an irregular solid in an overflow can?

Fill the can with a liquid to the top so it almost overflows. Put the solid in the can and catch the overflowing liquid. Measure the liquid. The measurement of the liquid will give you the volumn of the solid.
