Explain which statement is correct: energy is lost when water is boiled or the energy used to boil water is present, but it is no longer in a usable form unless you use work or heat to make it usable.
its me again and i think that the 2nd one is correct because i no that energy is not lost when water is bpiled it is gained because of the bubbles and electrons and atoms moving around. am i right??

I think the second one is correct, but I don't think energy can be lost or gained.
right
To determine which statement is correct, let's break it down:
Statement 1: Energy is lost when water is boiled.
Statement 2: The energy used to boil water is present, but it is no longer in a usable form unless you use work or heat to make it usable.
First, we need to understand the concept of energy. Energy refers to the ability to do work or transfer heat. When water is boiled, energy in the form of heat is applied to raise the temperature of the water.
Now let's analyze the statements:
Statement 1 suggests that energy is lost when water is boiled. This statement is not entirely accurate. Energy is not lost but rather transferred or transformed from one form to another. When water is boiled, the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, and they transform into a gaseous state. The heat energy used to boil the water is not lost but is instead transferred to the water molecules.
Statement 2 indicates that the energy used to boil water is present but not in a usable form unless you use work or heat to make it usable. This statement is correct. When water is boiled, the energy is still present in the system but no longer in the original form of heat. The heat energy has been transferred to the water molecules, resulting in an increase in their kinetic energy.
However, this energy is not immediately available for useful work or other processes. To make the energy usable, you would need to either extract it as heat or use it to perform work. For example, you could use the steam produced by boiling water to drive a turbine and generate electricity, thus converting the energy into a usable form.
In conclusion, statement 2 is more accurate as the energy used to boil water is indeed still present but may not be immediately usable without further conversion or utilization.
