Why does water changes from liquid to gas when heated to its boiling point?

Liquids evaporate faster as they heat up and more particles have enough energy to break away. The particles need energy to overcome the attractions between them. As the liquid gets warmer more particles have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid. At this point the liquid is boiling and turning to gas.

What process occurs when liquid turns to gas?

The process of a liquid becoming a gas is called boiling (or vapourization), while the process of a gas becoming a liquid is called condensation.

What happens when you boil water to make gas?

A: Whoops, the gas that water turns into when it boils is not gasoline, it’s steam. You can’t burn it. You can use electrical current to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen, and power engines by burning the hydrogen.

What happens when you heat up a liquid?

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam).

Why does water stick together when heated up?

This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily. If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all.

What is it called when a liquid turns into a gas?

When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called “evaporation.” The opposite process is called “condensation.” Hope this answers your question!
