Question

Problem of the week Unit 1- Week #1

#1 As the temperature of water increases from being heated,
Explain what happens to the following:

A) Number of collisions of the compound of water
B) Movement (Kinetic Energy) of the compounds of water.
C) Mass of the water

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A) As temperature is increased, Kinetic energy increases. As KE ∝ velocity, velocity increases, and thus, there will be more frequent collisions.

B) As temperature increases, heat energy applied is converted into kinetic energy. Thus, a greater proportion of particles will have sufficient energy to react, upon colliding.

C) Mass remains constant
