I NEED HELP PLEASE ASAP

- Question -
A certain type of ship has two tanks in its engine. Each tank contains a different type of fuel. When the engine turns on, the same amount of energy is transferred out of both fuels as shown in the diagram below. Why did fuel 1 change phase, but fuel 2 stayed the same? Explain what happened to the molecules of both fuels.

Answer:

because the second can is its secondary fuel?

Answer:

Where we have that the phase temperature at which fuel 1 changes to liquid due to its low temperature after the energy transfer is reached, fuel 1 changes to liquid Where we have that the temperature of fuel 2 is still above its gas to liquid phase transition temperature, the fuel in fuel 2 will remain a gas. The kinetic energy of the individual molecules in fuel 1 is less than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of fuel 1 in the liquid state such that fuel 1 molecules undergoes phase transformation from gas to liquid ,

The kinetic energy of the molecules in fuel 2 is higher than the fuel 2 liquid state intermolecular forces fuel 2 does not undergo phase transformation and remain a gas.

sorry that i am late btw :( *the explanation is in there to btw*.
