Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
What is the relationship between energy and temperature change?
When heat is transferred in a space the average energy of the particles - the temperature of the substance - is affected, by increasing or decreasing. The change in temperature depends on the number of particles affected.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
Why does temperature stay the same during a phase change?
The temperature, in Physics, means the measure of Kinetic Energy in a substance. When a substance is either heated or cooled, Kinetic Energy is either being added to taken away from the substance. When the amount of KE in the substance changes, the temperature change. However, when the substance is changing its state, because all the KE change in the substance is being used up to change the state, the temperature will not change. When the substance is changing state, the KE can be measured by calculating the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization.
Does physical change occur when energy is added or removed?
Physical change can occur when energy is added or removed. For example, adding heat energy can cause water to change from a solid to a liquid (melting), while removing heat energy can cause water to change from a liquid to a solid (freezing). These changes do not alter the chemical composition of the substance.
How will a substance change if energy is added to the liquid at 20 degrees Celsius?
The substance will get hawter
Why does evaporation require that heat energy be added to a substance?
Evaporation requires heat energy to be added because it provides the molecules in a substance with enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together. As molecules gain energy, they move faster and escape the liquid phase, transitioning into the gas phase. This process leads to evaporation.
What change in state requires an energy to be added to the substance?
The change from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas all require an input of energy to overcome intermolecular forces holding the particles together. This added energy breaks these forces, allowing the particles to move more freely and change state.
Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
What has to be added to a substance to cause a phase change?
Adding or removing energy in the form of heat is needed to cause a substance to undergo a phase change. This extra energy helps break the intermolecular forces holding the particles together in their current phase, allowing them to rearrange into a new phase with different properties.
Sometimes heat energy is added but the temperature stays the same when is this?
When a substance undergoes a phase change, such as melting or boiling, heat energy is added, but the temperature remains constant. This is because the added energy is being used to break the intermolecular forces holding the substance together, rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the particles.
What is the relationship between energy and temperature change?
When heat is transferred in a space the average energy of the particles - the temperature of the substance - is affected, by increasing or decreasing. The change in temperature depends on the number of particles affected.
Why do substances change phases when energy is added or removed?
When energy is added to a substance, the temperature of the substance increases, causing the particles to gain kinetic energy and move faster, resulting in a phase change. Likewise, when energy is removed from a substance, the temperature decreases, causing the particles to slow down and the substance to change phases. The energy absorbed or released during these phase changes is used to either break or form bonds between the particles.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.

When heat is added to or removed fron the substance and the temperature remains the the same where is the thermal energy going?
The situation that you describe, in which heat is being added to or removed from a substance yet the temperature of that substance remains the same, happens when there is a phase change, which can be from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas, or from gas to liquid, and so forth. This happens because it takes energy to move from solid to liquid to gas, and it produces energy to move in the other direction, from gas to liquid to solid. Molecules or atoms have some degree of attraction for each other, so when they move closer together, or form actual bonds, that is a process that releases potential energy. Moving them farther apart or breaking bonds requires energy.
