At what two temperatures did the kinetic energy of the water molecules remain the same for a short period of time?
1 answer
The kinetic energy of water molecules remained the same at 0 degrees Celsius (when water is freezing) and at 100 degrees Celsius (when water is boiling). This is because during these phase changes, the energy added or removed from the system goes towards changing the state of the water (melting or boiling) rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules.
