If adding heat turns a liquid into a gas, then why does the hot pan turn the liquid pancake into a
solid?

same reason why burning something produces both gas and solid byproducts.

strictly speaking, a pancake mix is not liquid, but a suspension. a bunch of the water gets boiled off, you just don't see it.

>> No.4446043

I would guess that the molecules mix and they form new molecules with a higher boiling point.

Why does heating eggs in water turn the inside from liquid to solid?
Because Biology doesn't give two shits about your weak-ass laws of physics.

The heat creates cross-linkages between the nutrients.

>>4446005
Because pancake mix is a particulate colloid. The heating removes a large part of the liquid, as per your initial statement, leaving the solid parts still there. This happens because the amount of energy necessary to turn water into vapor is less than the energy needed to turn the solid particles of pancake into liquid particles.

the proteins in the egg white are a liquid because they are folded. heating denatures (unfolds) the proteins til they are a scrambled mess, making them solid.

>>4446005 If adding heat turns a liquid into a gas,

It doesn't. If the pressure in the liquid is high enough to overcome the ambient pressure the liquid will expand to dissipate the excess energy caused by the pressure difference. When expanded enough the strain in the bonds holding the liquid together gets too high and it turns to gas.
