Answer:
here your answer asmazed
The process of changing matter from one state to another is called interconversion of states of matter.The interconversion between different states of matter can be brought about by changing the.conditions of temperature and pressure
(i)By changing temperature: By increasing the temperature solids can be converted to liquids and.liquids into gases. This occurs because on increasing the temperature the kinetic energy of particles :
increases and they can move freely. On decreasing the temperature (or cooling), reverse changes take place
For example, ice changes into liquid water at 0°C and water into steam at 100°C (at I atm.
pressure).
(ii) On increasing the pressure, the particles of matter are brought closer. Thus on increasing pressure,
gases can be liquefied.
