What happens to the thermal energy if you put a cup of water into the freezer?

Thermal energy in the water is transferred to the air in the freezer, mainly by convection. From there, it is absorbed by the evaporator coils which line the interior of the freezer; the refrigerant fluid in the coils circulates to the outside, where it is compressed and the heat is dissipated into the room as it passes through the condenser coils on the outside of the freezer.

Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
Does water absorb thermal energy during condensation?
No, water releases thermal energy during condensation. It absorbs thermal energy during evaporation, which is why the evaporation of sweat cools your skin.
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.
How can you tell a glass of water has thermal energy?
The thermal energy can be measured with a thermometer, if that's what you're asking.
How do you convert nuclear to thermal energy?
This happens in the fuel rods, the energy released by nuclear fission appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, which is quickly turned into thermal energy as the fragments slow down and are stopped in the fuel. Thus the fuel rods heat up and transfer thermal energy to the coolant, which in most reactors is water but can be gas or liquid metal.
What happens to water in a freezer?
Water becomes ice cubes in a freezer.
Explain what happens when we suply heat and energy to water till it change its state What is this eat energy called?
When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.
What happens to water when you add thermal energy to it?
It will either get hotter or evaporate, or perhaps a bit of both.
What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?
Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.
What happens when a cup of water goes in the freezer?
I think you need to try this. Put water in the freezer and see what happens.
What happens to the the energy from the sun when it changes liquid water into water vapor?
Evaporation
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
In terms of energywhat happens to water in a freezer?
water molecules lose energy to their surroundings, causing the molecules to move less, thus the liquid water becomes a solid
Does water absorb thermal energy during condensation?
No, water releases thermal energy during condensation. It absorbs thermal energy during evaporation, which is why the evaporation of sweat cools your skin.
What happens to thermal energy in beakers as the water cools down?
due to convection, the movement of energy through a fluid or air, and also the first law of energy conservation, the thermal energy has convects throught the air to cooler regions, therefore cooling the beaker
Can a container of hot water have the same thermal energy as a container of cold water?
No, it can't have the same thermal energy. The hot water loses energy to the surroundings. Cold is an absence of energy, as energy is removed the water becomes cold.
