Question

Which of the following correctly describes what happens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the liquic

state to the solid state?
• There is no change in the kinetic energy of the molecules.
O The kinetic of energy of the molecules increases.
• The kinetic energy of the molecules increases then decreases.
of O The kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

because when temperature decreases the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules decreases as well.

Answer 2

The kinetic energy decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

When water freezes, it is losing heat. Heat and energy are interchangeable, meaning it loses energy.
