Physical objects absorb heat when the molecules of which they consist absorb energy and increase their velocity. Molecules are always moving, or vibrating in a lattice structure. They can absorb energy through physical collisions with molecules of another object or medium (air, water), or through direct absorption of radiant energy. In either case, the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat.

What happens to absorbed light?

Absorbed light is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or chemical energy. In photosynthesis, absorbed light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In solar panels, absorbed light is converted into electricity.


How much heat is absorbed when 75 g of liquid carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) vaporizes into a gas?

The heat absorbed during vaporization is called the heat of vaporization. For carbon tetrachloride, the heat of vaporization is 30.5 kJ/mol. To calculate the heat absorbed when 75 g of CCl4 vaporizes, you would first convert grams to moles using the molar mass of CCl4. Then, use the heat of vaporization to calculate the total heat absorbed.

What happens when Some of the light absorbed by objects can turn into?

When light is absorbed by objects, it can turn into heat energy. This is because the absorbed light causes the atoms in the object to vibrate, which generates heat as a form of energy.
