### Question 1

The statement that is NOT true about the scenario is:

**The heated water is more dense, which is why it rises.**

When water is heated, it becomes less dense due to the increased space between the molecules, which is why it rises rather than being more dense.

### Question 2

As the water molecules reach the surface of the pot, the correct response is:

**They evaporate into the air.**

While some may gain thermal energy as they reach the surface, the primary process occurring is evaporation, where the water molecules transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase.
