When matter changes state, the molecular energy generally increases as heat is added or decreases as heat is removed. Molecular motion increases as the substance transitions from a solid to a liquid to a gas. The overall mass of the substance remains the same throughout the phase change process, as no particles are added or removed.
Energy can change when a substance undergoes a phase change (such as melting or vaporization) or a chemical reaction. During these processes, energy is either absorbed (endothermic) or released (exothermic) as the internal structure of the substance changes. This energy change is due to the breaking or forming of bonds between atoms, resulting in a change in the overall energy content of the system.
No. Roughly speaking, "specific gravity" is equivalent to density, i.e., mass divided by volume. If a substance changes its state, its volume will change, but its mass won't change - therefore, the density - the result of the division - will also change.
A substance that does not change in volume when subjected to changes in temperature or pressure is called an incompressible substance. Incompressible substances have constant volume regardless of external conditions due to the strong inter-molecular forces present in their structure. Water is an example of an incompressible substance due to its high density and strong hydrogen bonding.
No. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, and that does not change when the matter changes states. The matter will either contract or expand, depending on the current state and the state to be reached, but that does not change how much matter is in the object.
False. In a physical change, the substance remains the same even though there may be a change in appearance or state. The molecules of the substance do not rearrange themselves to form a new substance.
In changes in which the molecular structure of a substance remains constant, such as changes of state, we often refer to these changes as Physical Changes. If the molecular structure is altered it would be a Chemical Change.
The overall mass of a substance remains the same when it changes state. The mass is conserved during physical changes like melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation. This is because the number of atoms or molecules in the substance does not change during a change in state.
A physical change doesn't change the molecular properties of a substance. Some examples of physical changes include tearing paper, or the evaporation of water. A chemical change does change the molecular properties of a substance. For example, if you burn wood you get leftover carbon, and CO2 is also released; no longer does the wood have the same molecular properties or structure.
The mass of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. The temperature of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. However, the volume of a substance may change when the amount of the substance changes, depending on the conditions.
a physical change is a phase change, such as water to ice or water vapor. a chemical change takes place on a molecular level, producing a new substance.
No, it can't be.
Chemical Change.
When a substance changes, any or all of its properties can also change.
No, the change from liquid to gas is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this process, the substance's molecular structure remains the same, only its physical state changes from liquid to gas.
