How is internal energy affected when water is boiled?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

When water is boiled, its internal energy increases as it transitions from a cold state to a hot state. This increase in internal energy is directly correlated with the rise in temperature of the water. The discussion highlights that as the internal energy rises, the molecular bonds within the water are affected, leading to changes in physical properties until the maximum temperature is reached.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics principles
  • Knowledge of molecular structure and bonding
  • Familiarity with temperature and heat transfer concepts
  • Basic physics of phase changes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between temperature and internal energy in thermodynamics
  • Explore the effects of boiling on molecular bonding in water
  • Learn about phase transitions and their impact on physical properties
  • Investigate the specific heat capacity of water and its implications during boiling
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, chemistry enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the thermodynamic properties of water and phase changes.

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.
