Question

Water is heated on a burner. What happens to the kinetic energy of its particles? What does it lead to?

  1. Increases, increase in volume
  2. Decreases, decrease in volume
  3. Increases, decrease in volume
  4. Decreases, increase in volume

hintHint:

  • Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor.

The correct answer is: Increases, increase in volume


    • Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor.
    • Gases have high kinetic energy 
    • The particles have higher kinetic energy which changes liquid water to gaseous water vapor.
    • And due to evaporation its volume decreases
