When a liquid is heated, the particles are given more energy. They start to move faster and further apart. At a certain temperature, the particles break free of one another and the liquid turns to gas. This is the boiling point. The boiling point of a substance is always the same; it does not vary.
The thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy.
Think about it. If you touch cold water, it feels cold because the atoms are moving slowly. However, if you touch hot water then it feels hot because the atoms are moving all over and colliding with your fingers.
When water boils, it forms bubbles of water vapor. This happens because the heat energy makes the water molecules move faster and break free from the liquid, turning into gas. The bubbles you see are the water vapor escaping from the liquid water.
it gets hot
When water boils, it turns into water vapor or steam. This water vapor rises into the air and eventually dissipates.
When water boils in a kettle, it reaches its boiling point and turns into steam. This is caused by the heat energy applied to the water that overcomes the intermolecular forces holding the water molecules together. The steam rises, creating bubbles and a hissing sound, and the water changes from a liquid to a gas state.
"Turning to vapor" is a description of boiling. At normal conditions, water boils at 212oF.
The water becomes a gas.
It boils
Water IS a polar molecule.
It boils
Water boils at that temperature.
nothing special, BUT at 0oCelsius, water freezes .....and at 100oCelsius, water boils
At 212 oF, water boils at 1 atm of pressure.
The water goes from the liquid state to the gas state. H2O(l) -> H2O(g)
the water then appears coulerless
It get hotter and if it is frozen it melts. If it is melted it boils.
I'm trying to look that up too!! I wonder what happens, I'm gonna do that for my science project but my question is a tiny bit different it's: When water boils, what happens to molecules (for example sugar or salt) that are dissolved in the water? Do they boil off too, or do they stay behind?
