using water as an example, describe how matter can change from one form to another?

Answer 1

Ice --------------> Water-------------->Steam
Solid Liquid Gas

Answer 2

C'mon now, you must know this. Between 32 and 212 degrees, it's a liquid. At or below 32 degrees it's a solid (ice). At or above 212 degrees it boils and changes to steam and then it's a gas. All degrees are in Fahrenheit. For Celsius, freezing point is 0 degrees and boiling point is 100.

Answer 3

Water is a liquid. When exposed to cold temperatures it turns to ice, which is a solid. When heated to a boiling temp, the water turns to steam, which is a gas.

Answer 4

Regarding water......That is a matter of temperature and pressure.

The other means of changing one matter into another (let's say lead into gold) means manipulating the atomic structure of the element.... by either adding or removing electrons to/from the atom itself.

Answer 5

Hello 'Old Lady' (which I don't believe)...
It's a case of Temperature and Heat energy.
Sensible Heat Energy, added to or removed from water will ONLY Increase or Decrease its Temperature NO change in form (State). (0°C <=====>100°C)
(You can sense, feel it and measure it with a thermometer)
Latent Heat Energy, when added to or removed from water will ONLY change its form (or State).
Latent Heat of Freezing Water to Ice (Heat Removed) or Melting Ice to Water (Heat Added) with NO change in Temperature. (0°C <==>0°C)
Latent Heat of Vaporisation, Water to Steam, (Heat Added) or Condensation, Steam to Water (Heat removed), with NO change in Temperature. (100°C <==>100°C)
(Latent Heat ...Hidden Heat...Cannot be felt, sensed or measured with a thermometer).

Heating, Cooling and Change of State involves increasing or decreasing the Molecular Acivity (Kinetic Energy), of the Solid, Liquid or Gas).

Answer 6

If you were to boil water, you will convert liquid water to gaseous water. If you freeze water the you would convert liquid water to a solid known as ice.

Answer 7

You can turn water into a solid by freezing it, into a gas by boiling it, returning it into its original state by either thawing it out or collecting condensation.

Answer 8

Heat, or freeze
