Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

When you have a pot of water on the stove, heat is transferred to the water. Describe the behavior of the water molecules and how temperature is affected.

Answer 1

The behaviour of the water molecules are that they would vibrate faster and the space between them would also increase. Therefore, the result molecules' motion is that it will expand and take up more space. Temperature is affected by making it rise, when the temperature in the water rises, this can result to boiling, steam or vapour in which some of the water molecules will escape and evaporate into the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Heat is transferred to the bottom layer of water via conduction. Heat transfer via conduction takes place by vibration and collision of molecules.

The heated layer of water expands and rises. The cold top layer being dense rushes to the bottom to take its place.

Heat transfer in pot of water takes place via conduction and convection. The temperature of the water rises till whole water is uniformly heated.
