That is possible when there is a change of state. For example, if you have ice at its melting point, or a mixture of ice and water at its melting point, if you add heat, the energy will be used to melt the ice, not to increase the temperature.

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.


Is it possable to add heat but not change the temperature of somthing?

Yes, it is possible to add heat to something without changing its temperature. This can happen during a phase change, such as when melting a solid into a liquid or evaporating a liquid into a gas, where the added heat provides the energy needed for the molecules to change their arrangement without a change in temperature.


What happens if energy is added to a liquid at 20 Celsius?

If energy is added to a liquid at 20 Celsius, the temperature of the liquid will increase. This can lead to a phase change if the added energy is sufficient to raise the liquid's temperature above its boiling point, causing it to vaporize. If the added energy is not enough for a phase change, the increased temperature can affect the liquid's properties such as viscosity.


What do you put in a box that makes it lighter?

Holes or spaces can be added to a box to make it lighter without changing its physical contents. This reduces the overall weight of the box without altering the items inside.


What happens when a liquid reaches its freezing point?

A liquid at the freezing point might remain a liquid indefinitely if no more heat is removed. A liquid in frozen state might remain frozen indefinitely, too. If the liquid is very pure, it might remain a liquid even when carefully brought below the freezing point. It would shift phases if some impurity or movement disturbs the liquid. If enough additional heat (heat of fusion) is removed from a liquid at the freezing point then the liquid will freeze without changing temperature. If a frozen liquid has the heat of fusion added to it, it will melt without changing temperature.

What state will most likely result if heat is added to a liquid?

It will change into a gas.Adding heat to or removing heat from a system may result in a temperature change and possibly a change of state. A liquid substance needs heat added to it in order to enter a gaseous state. If enough heat is added to a liquid substance it will change into a gas.


When heat is added to a liquid at the boiling temperature it converts the liquid into a gas at the same temperature because?

The additional heat, called "enthalpy" completes the phase change, by changing the arrangement of the molecules in the existing environment, not the temperature. The energy must be removed from a gas to cause condensation into liquid, and from a liquid to cause solidification (freezing). Conversely, it is added when changing a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. At a certain temperature (critical temperature), the process happens spontaneously because the phase boundary disappears.


Name four ways nature changes the states of matter?

Cold temperatures cause water to freeze, changing it from liquid to solid. Warm temperatures cause ice to melt, changing it from solid to liquid. Fire can heat water to its boiling point, changing it from liquid to gas. Cold air colliding with warm air in the atmosphere can cause lightning, changing it from gas to plasma.


Is baking cake from a mix physical?

No, it is chemical change. Heat is added therefore changing the make-up from a liquid state to a solid state.

When is water saturated?

Any more solute added to the water without changing the temperature forms crystals at the bottom of the solution.


Why is it that when a solid dissolves in a liquid the mass of the solution that is made is the same as the mass of the solid added to the liquid?

When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the mass of the solution remains the same as the mass of the solid added because no new atoms or molecules are created or destroyed during the dissolution process. The solid particles break down into individual molecules or ions, which disperse in the liquid without changing the total mass. The law of conservation of mass dictates that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
