You can change both of these by increasing or decreasing the speed of the molecules (kinetic energy), or by increasing or decreasing the heat applied (thermal energy). If you want to melt ice, you can increase the kinetic energy by increasing the thermal energy. The opposite occurs if you want to freeze water.

How does a solid change from a solid to a liquid?

When water freezes it changes from a liquid to a solid. When water boils or evaporates it changes from a liquid to a gas.


How can you change liquid water into a solid or a gas?

To change liquid water into a solid, you need to lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius to freeze it. To change liquid water into a gas, you need to raise the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate it.


What 2 types of change occurs when water changes fro?

From liquid water change to solid: freezing.From liquid water change to gaseous: vaporization.From solid water change to liquid: melting.From solid water change to gaseous: sublimation.


Does solid change to liquid or gas changes to liquid?

Let's consider the case of ice. Ice is a solid. When heated, it gets transformed to water. Water is a liquid. Further heating changes water into gas. Thus, heat can change a solid into both liquid and solid form.


How does water change from a solid to a liquid to a gas?

By heating it up


Which of the following is an example of a phase change from liquid to solid?

Frost is a phase change of a gas to a solid (deposition). Water vapor turns directly to ice.


How does water changes to solid liquid and gas?

Water changes from a solid to a liquid through melting and from a liquid to a gas through evaporation. The reverse processes are freezing (liquid to solid) and condensation (gas to liquid). These changes in state occur due to variations in temperature and pressure.


How does a liquid change from a solid to a gas?

These are phase changes, ice melts into water and water evaporates into a gas.


How does water change from gas to a liquid to a solid?

These are phase changes, ice melts into water and water evaporates into a gas.


Example of gas to liquid solid to liquid liquid to solid?

water Water is a gas when it is steam. It condenses to liquid, becoming water. It becomes solid when it freezes, and then becomes liquid again as it melts. The entire process depends on temperature. The molecular structure of water does not change throughout all these changes.


What is 3 examples of an physical change?

Cutting a piece of paper into smaller pieces. Freezing water to form ice. Mixing salt and water to form a solution.


What physical changes can water undergo?

Water can exist in three physical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). It can undergo physical changes such as freezing (turning into ice), melting (turning into water), evaporation (turning into water vapor), condensation (turning back into liquid), and sublimation (directly turning from solid to gas).
