When you boil a liquid and it turns into an ideal gas where does the energy go because the temperature remains constant so kinetic energy is the same and ideal gases don't have potential energy?

It turns into latent heat - the latent heat of evaporation. This energy is recovered when the gas condenses back into a liquid.

How is energy in potential and kinetic conserved?
For any object, the summation of its potential and kinetic energies is constant.
When a gas is heated does all of the absorbed energy convert to kinetic energy If not please tell what it is converted to part kinetic and part potential energy or just potential energy?
The gas will have thermal energy given by its specific heat capacity (at constant pressure or volume depending on the situation) times the rise in temperature. This thermal energy is possessed because of the increased kinetic energy of its molecules, due to the rise in temperature.
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
Is heat energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Of the 7 different forms of energy which are potential and which are kinetic?
Potential energy is because of height. Kinetic energy is because of motion.
Where does the gravitational potential energy go when a parachutist's kinetic energy is constant?
wind resistance
How does kinetic energy and potential energy switch?
work=change in kinetic energy, doing work on an object by moving it up increases that object's potential energy because it has the POTENTIAL to fall due to gravity. kinetic energy is lost in the movement of the object. However, throughout an entire closed system, the total energy in joules (or kinetic enery plus potential energy) does remain constant. this is useful because the initial energy and the final energy most be equal, and if thats true, then initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy must equal final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. does that help?
What happens to kinetic energy of gas particles as temperature decreases at a constant pressure?
kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature is a postulate in kinetic molecular theory of matter.if the pressure is kept constant when temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases resulting in decrease in the volume of the gas. Charle's Law state's that For a given mass of dry gas at constant pressure ,volume is directionally proportional to temperature ie V~T
How are heat and Thermal energy related?
it is related because heat is temperature and temperature tells how fast molecules move and thermal energy is kinetic + potential energy
Is temperature a measure of the average potential energy of each particle within an object?
It would not be the potential energy because potential is the measure of energy that is not in motion yet. When you measure the temperature and it reads 200 degrees YOU WILL FEEL IT because the objects molecules are in motion. If you measured its potential energy at this point of 200 degrees it would probably be close to zero if not zero. When you measure the temperature you are measuring the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the measure of how much energy the molecules have that are in motion.
What is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energies?
Mechanical Energy
What does boltzmann constant represent?
Boltzmann's constant relates the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas.
