How is internal energy affected when water is boiled?

In summary, as cold water in a kettle transforms into hot water, its internal energy increases due to its temperature increasing. This is because internal energy is directly linked to the temperature of a body. As the internal energy increases, the properties of the water, such as the strength of its bonds, may also be changing until it reaches its maximum possible temperature.

Well , internal energy of the water increases - as internal energy of a body is directly linked to the temperature of the said body .

Hope this helps.

Dear friends! What physically is happening when 1.Internal energy is increasing 2.After internal energy has increased?
?
Does anything happen to bonds?
At different levels of temperature properties must be changing until maximum possible temperature.

FAQ: How is internal energy affected when water is boiled?

How does boiling water affect its internal energy?

Boiling water causes an increase in the internal energy of the water. This is because the heat energy from the heat source is transferred to the water molecules, causing them to move faster and increase in temperature.

Does the internal energy of water change during boiling?

Yes, the internal energy of water changes during boiling. As the water absorbs heat energy and reaches its boiling point, the water molecules gain kinetic energy and the internal energy of the water increases.

What happens to the internal energy of water molecules during boiling?

The internal energy of water molecules increases as they absorb heat energy during boiling. This increase in internal energy causes the water molecules to move faster and eventually reach their boiling point.

How does the change in internal energy affect the physical properties of water during boiling?

The increase in internal energy during boiling causes the water molecules to move faster and spread further apart. This results in the physical properties of water changing from a liquid to a gas state, as it turns into steam.

Can the internal energy of water change after it has reached its boiling point?

Yes, the internal energy of water can continue to increase even after it has reached its boiling point. This is because the heat source continues to transfer heat energy to the water molecules, causing them to move faster and increase in temperature.
