The particles will lose kinetic energy and increase temperature during boiling.
The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling.
The particles will lose kinetic energy and decrease temperature during boiling.
The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling.
The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and a decrease in temperature during boiling.
The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling.
1 answer
The correct response is:
The particles will have the same average kinetic energy and the same temperature during boiling.
During boiling, while water is at the boiling point (100°C), the temperature remains constant even though heat is being added. The added energy goes into changing the state from liquid to gas rather than increasing the temperature, so the particles have the same average kinetic energy.
