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.

What happens to the water when thermal energy is transferred to it?

When thermal energy is transferred to water, the water molecules absorb the energy and their kinetic energy increases. This causes the temperature of the water to rise, eventually leading to the water boiling and turning into steam.


What is temperature of water drops it continues to give off thermal energy until it freeze example of?

An example of water continuously giving off thermal energy until it freezes is when you leave a glass of water in a freezer. As the water's temperature decreases, it releases thermal energy to the surrounding air until it reaches the freezing point, forming ice crystals.


How can you tell a glass of water has thermal energy?

You can tell a glass of water has thermal energy if it feels warm or hot to the touch. Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules, so a warmer temperature indicates higher thermal energy in the water.


What energy does a bath of hot water have?

the energy that a bath of hot water is thermal energy because the bath water ransfers to you to make you warmer and the bath water colder.


What happens when thermal energy is added to dry ice and regular ice?

When thermal energy is added to dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), it undergoes sublimation and directly changes from a solid to a gas, without passing through a liquid phase. On the other hand, when thermal energy is added to regular ice (solid water), it melts into liquid water, and then if more energy is added, it evaporates into steam (water vapor).

Water becomes ice cubes in a freezer.


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 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.


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.


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

What energy happens when coal is burned in furnace of a power plant?

When coal is burned in a furnace of a power plant, the primary energy produced is thermal energy. This thermal energy is used to heat water and produce steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.


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
