Question

How is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance affected during a phase change?

A.) Kinetic energy increases during exothermic changes and decreases during endothermic changes.
B.) Kinetic energy decreases during exothermic changes and increases during endothermic changes.
C.) Kinetic energy does not change, but the potential energy does.
D.) Kinetic energy changes in the opposite way that the potential energy changes.

Answer 1

Answer: A. Kinetic energy increases during exothermic changes and decreases during endothermic changes

Explanation: During an exothermic change potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. I hope this is correct. :)
