Question

What are the three forms of water? Explain how they are interchangeable?

Answer 1

Understanding the concept:

• The three different types of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
• By observing the arrangement of their particles, we can explain their various properties.
• Water is a matter that exists in three states solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor.

Interchangeable the three forms of water:

• A material can change from one state of matter to the other physically without affecting its chemical composition.
• Water is interchangeable if it can shift from a solid to a liquid or a gas depending on the temperature.
• A solid ice can change into liquid water usually when we heat it at $0°\mathrm{C}$. Thus the amount of heat requires to melt $1\mathrm{Kg}$ ice into water is called the latent heat of melting.
• Similarly, the amount of heat requires to freeze $1\mathrm{Kg}$ liquid water at $0°\mathrm{C}$ is called the latent heat of fusion.
• Also the liquid water changes into water vapor and vice versa at$100°\mathrm{C}$.
• Evaporation also helps to change liquid water into vapor below its boiling point.
• Similarly condensation is a process to convert water vapor into liquid water.
