A lidded glass container is filled with a colored gas. After a period of time, it is observed that the gas is uniformly spread throughout the box and that the movement has slowed considerably. Next, a warm iron plate is carefully placed under the box.

Why is there resumed movement of the gas in the container?

• The warm iron plate absorbed energy from the gas particles, making them move faster.

• The warm iron plate vibrated due to the energy it had, disturbing the gas in the process.

• Heat from the warm iron plate transferred energy to the gas particles, making them move faster.

• The warm iron plate heated the insulated box causing it to vibrate, disturbing the gas in the process.

Which statement is a result of a substance melting.

• The attractions between the particles are stronger.

• The average kinetic energy of the particles decreases.

• The particles form a rigid structure where the atoms vibrate.

• The particles are attracted to each other but are fluid and slide past one another.
