What phase changes release energy?
Gas to liquid change releases energy.
What heppens to matter when you add thermal energy?
When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.
How is thermal energy of a substances related to its physical state?
The thermal energy of a substance determines its state, since thermal energy, aka internal energy, is the energy the molecules in the substance have. If the energy exceeds the force holding the substance together the substance undergoes a phase change.The physical state of a substance is related to its temperature, the measure of thermal energy. The substance can change states depending on the temperature, e.g. boiling.
What happens when a object gains thermal energy?
Then it will either get hotter, or change its phase (for example, when ice melts).
How are Kinetic Energy and heat related to phase changes?
heat increases kinetic energy i.e. motion of the particles leading to bond breakage which ultimately causes phase change
Where does the thermal energy go in such endothermic phase changes?
It is converted to bond energy
Describe how phase changes of water transfer thermal energy?
birthdays
What type of energy makes molecules move faster and can cause phase changes?
Thermal
Is vaporizing input or output of energy?
The evaporation and vaporization of water is an endothermic process. As water vaporizes it absorbs heat energy. The changing of phase from liquid water to gas also means an increase in kinetic energy.
Does thermal energy increase during a phase change?
Thermal energy may increase or decrease during a phase change. It depends on which "direction" the change is going. In a phase change between a solid and liquid, as in the case of water, the solid water (ice) will reach 0 °C by absorbing thermal energy. It's temperature will be rising as it absorbs heat. But at the transition temperature, it must still absorb some heat to "make the transition" from ice at 0 °C to water a 0 °C. This thermal energy is the enthalpy of fusion. Thermal energy will have increased during the phase change. Another way make the point is that water at 0 °C will have more thermal energy than an equal mass of ice at 0 °C. If you guessed that the opposite is true, you'd be correct. The changes in thermal energy apply to "regular" phase changes between solids, liquids and gases. (There are other types of phase change that don't involve thermal energy or the change of state from solid, liquid or gas.) A link can be found to the enthalpy of fusion for you to investigate further into this one type of transition. That link is below.
Thermal energy depends on what two factors?
I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.
What phase changes release energy?
Gas to liquid change releases energy.
Type of energy on X axis of Phase change graph?
Thermal energy (heat)
What phase changes require the subtraction of heat energy?
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
What phase changes require the addition of energy?
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
What are the phase changes that release energy?
Condensation
What is the loss in thermal energy causing a gas to phase directly into a solid?
