• a decrease in thermal energy

Multiple Choice

When water is changed from a liquid to a gas, what occurs?

• The atoms lose electrons.

• Hdyrogen is separated from oxygen.

Multiple Choice

Water puddles on a sidewalk evaporate when the Sun heats the water. Which of these best describeswhat is happening as the water evaporates?

• Water changes phase as it releases heat to the environment.

• Water boils as it absorbs energy from the sidewalk.

• Water becomes a gas as it absorbs energy from the Sun.

• Water evaporates as its thermal energy is transferred to the air.

Multiple Choice

Yuko designed an experiment to test the effect of heating and cooling on air. She blew up two balloons to similar sizes and measured their circumferences. She placed one balloon in a freezer for one hour

and left the second balloon on the table. After one hour she measured their circumferences again. She then left both balloons on the table for one more hour. The graph below shows the change in the sizes

of the balloons during the experiment.

Which statement best explains the differences seen between the two balloons during the experiment?

• Balloons put more pressure on cold air than room temperature air.

• Cooling causes air to contract and heating causes air to expand.

• Freezing causes balloons to contract and thawing causes them expand.

• Air contracts when cooled but is not affected by warming.

• R → S → Q

• R → Q → S

Multiple Choice

What types of particles have the least amount of kinetic energy?

• ice particles

• air particles
