Question

At what phase changes do water
release energy??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water must release energy to move from a higher to lower energy phase, i.e., from gas (water) vapor to liquid during condensation and from liquid to solid (ice) during freezing. In each case, the energy released by the water results in a change in the internal molecular bonding structure.

Answer 2

Water release energy during condensation, deposition, and freezing.

Explanation:

• In the process of condensation, freezing, and deposition, water releases energy.
• The energy released allows water molecules to change the binding pattern, transforming it into a lower energy state.
• A form of latent heat in which a flow of energy occurs during a phase change from liquid to gas. This change is an endothermic reaction.
• That is, the system absorbs energy during the transition from liquid to gas.
• If the direction is from gas to liquid, the change heats up the system releases energy. When a substance freezes, the temperature of the substance remains constant, but the particles in the liquid form a crystalline solid.
• Particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids, so they release energy when frozen. This energy is released into the environment.
