Phase of Matter

Students collected a volume of gas in a container (V1) and then applied heat to the container using a flame as seen here. Choose ALL of the statements that could describe what is happening inside the containers from left (V1) to right (V2).

• As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gas also increases.

• An increase in temperature results in an increase in the number of gas particles.

• An increase in gas particle energy causes an increase in pressure exerted by the gas.

• As the pressure exerted by the gas particles increases, the gas volume also increases.

• A decrease in kinetic energy and pressure causes a decrease in the volume of the container.

When a gas forms directly from a solid, skipping the liquid phase. it is called

• sublimation

• condensation

• evaporation

• deposition

Both boiling and evaporation are forms of vaporization. What is the difference between them?

• Boiling liquids have intense heat added to it, evaporating liquids take heat from their environment.

• Boiling happens quickly, evaporation happens slowly.

• Evaporation occurs only at a liquid's surface, boiling occurs throughout the liquid

• All of these reasons
