Responses

an increase in heat and an increase in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.
an increase in heat and an increase in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.

an increase in heat and a decrease in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.
an increase in heat and a decrease in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.

a decrease in heat and an increase in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.
a decrease in heat and an increase in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.

a decrease in heat and a decrease in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.

Answer 1

an increase in heat and an increase in kinetic energy until a phase change occurs.

Explanation: Adding thermal energy increases particle kinetic energy (temperature rises) until enough energy is supplied for a phase change, when energy goes into breaking intermolecular bonds.
