Question

Why did the hot water rise? Use faster, molecules, energy, density in your answer.

Answer 1

Convection

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot water will rise due to heat transfer by convection occurring in the heating system.

• When a fluid is heated, the molecules will gain thermal energy.
• As the thermal energy of the liquid increases, the molecules will have heat which is average kinetic energy in the system.
• This causes them to be less denser and they rise in the cooking medium.
• As they rise, the colder part of the water sinks down to replace them in the pot.
• This exchange sets up convection cells in the heating medium.
