What happens to a class of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increase

Answer:

The water becomes warmer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is when the molecules are in motion,

you would have to add an element to water for it to become more acidic as it has a neutral pH.

The water would become cooler or eventually turn to ice when the particles have potential energy, meaning they cannot move and are more closely packed together.

As the average kinetic energy of the glass of water increases, the temperature of the water increases. Temperature is a measure of the rate at which an atom or molecule oscillates, and if enough energy is given to this molecule, it can break free from the rest through a phase change to become a gaseous water molecule.
