The correct answer is D.
The kinetic energy of water molecules is directly related to their temperature. So by using a thermometer to measure the water's temperature, Carlos can indirectly measure the kinetic energy of the water molecules. Option A measures mass, option B measures pH, and option C observes phase change, which do not directly relate to the kinetic energy of water molecules.
Carlos heats 2L of water over a burner.
How can he measure the kinetic energy of the water molecules?(1 point)
A. He can use a balance to measure the water's mass.
B. He can use litmus paper to measure the water's pH.
C. He can observe the movement of the water molecules as they turn to water vapor.
D. He can use a thermometer to measure the water's temperature.
I chose C.
