Why is boiling a cooling process and condensation a warming process?

When a substance boils, it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings to break the intermolecular bonds and change phase into a gas. This absorption of heat makes the surrounding environment cooler. On the other hand, condensation is a warming process because when a gas condenses into a liquid, it releases heat energy to the surroundings, making the environment warmer.


Which process causes thermal energy to move through a metal spoon placed in a pot of boiling water?

Conduction is the process that causes thermal energy to move through the metal spoon placed in a pot of boiling water. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles in a material. The metal spoon conducts the heat from the boiling water to its other end, thus heating it up as well.


Why metal spoon is heated at one end and the heat is felt at the other and after a while?

The heat is transferred along the metal spoon through a process known as conduction. When one end of the spoon is heated, the particles at that end gain energy and vibrate, transferring heat energy to neighboring particles. This vibration and transfer of energy continues along the length of the spoon until the other end also becomes heated.


Why is this assumption not strictly true heat energy gained by liquid heat energy lost by metal?

This assumption may not be strictly true because in a real-world scenario, there may be heat losses to the surroundings during the transfer of heat energy from the metal to the liquid. Additionally, the specific heat capacities of the metal and liquid may differ, affecting the amount of heat energy required to increase their temperatures. Other factors like insulation, surface area, and temperature difference also play a role in the heat transfer process.


What is the process called when kinetic energy escapes?

The process you may be referring to is dissipation. This occurs when kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, leading to a decrease in the overall kinetic energy of the system.

How can energy conservation help us from global warming?

Through using energy, factories and power plants produce heat and waste. Energy is a limited and finite resource, for the most part. Using energy in the form of fuel (like in cars and other vehicles) creates pollution and gaseous emmissions. These emmissions go into the atmopshere, deplete the ozone layer, pollute the air, and cause global warming. With more energy conservation, less of these harmful pollutants will be produced or put into the atmopshere. This will at least slow down the process of global warming.


Evaporation is a cooling process and condensation is?

a warming process. Evaporation involves the absorption of heat from the surroundings to change liquid water into water vapor, which cools the surroundings. On the other hand, condensation releases heat to the surroundings as water vapor changes back into liquid, therefore warming the surroundings.


What is the process in which an ore is melted to separate the metal from other elements?

The process is called - smelting


Why do we need another form of energy for cars?

Carbon monoxide usage is accelerating the rate of global warming; other forms of energy are "cleaner".

How can energy be used to drive an electrochemical process?

Electricity is energy. DC electric current run thru a solution containing metal ions can cause electroplating of that metal on some other metal. This is the process for silver plating, chrome plating for automotive purposes, copper plating. It is also used for purifying some metals. The purification of aluminum is a big electrochemical process. In all of these electrical energy in some cases (aluminum purification in particular) breaks down compounds to set the metal free and collect it in very pure form. In the plating process, there is usually a piece of the "pure" metal and a solution of the ionic form. As the ions are turned into pure metal those ions are replaced by the pure metal becoming ionized to insure a continuous supply of ions to keep the process going. Electricity can also be used to get a supply of other 'free' elements as well. Chlorine was discovered in this was. Hydrogen and oxygen gases can be set free from water using electrolysis.


Separating useful metal from other elements is called?

The process of separating useful metal from other elements is called metal extraction or metallurgy. This process involves various techniques such as smelting, leaching, and electrolysis to isolate and purify the desired metal from its ore.

What is meant by radioactive metal?

It means that it's (a) a metal, and (b) radioactive. Radioactivity refers to certain types of atoms (certain isotopes) breaking down, converting into other types of atoms. In the process, they release energy, and certain types of radiation.


What can be made of pewter casting?

jewlery because pewter casting is the process of pouring moulton metal into a mould. other things such as key chains and other metal objects also go through the process.
