Question

Scientists digging in a cave found an unknown substance. The scientists found that the substance’s molecules were moving around each other. The scientists increased the speed of the substance’s molecules and caused a phase change. How did the scientists do this, and how did this affect the substance?

The scientists transferred energy . . .

Answer 1

By adding heat energy It became a gas Explanation:The molecules moving about another is a clear indicator that the substance is a liquid. In a liquid, the molecules stick together and move about one another. When the scientist increase the speed of the of substance, the kinetic energy increases. if this increase causes a phase change, then the substance becomes a gas. So, by adding heat energy a substance becomes gaseous if it is a liquid already.
