particles in water vapour at 100°c have more energy than the particles in liquid water at same temperature.why?
Answers
Answer:
Particles in steam at 100 C have more energy than water at the same temperature. ... Water vapours at 100 degree Celsius has more energy than liquid water at 100 degree Celsius. This is due to the fact that on converting liquid into gas, latent heat of vaporisation is required.
Particles in water vapour at 100°c have more energy than the particles in liquid water at same temperature, because -
• The water vapour is in the gaseous state where the water molecules are not closely packed with each other. That's why the water molecules in the gaseous vapour,can move freely.
• This free movement of the gaseous molecules allow them to gain velocity and as well as the kinetic energy. That's why the kinetic energy is more in the water vapour than the liquid water.
• And for this reason,in the same temperature the vapour has more energy than the liquid water.
