Answer to Question #116558 in General Chemistry for James

Question

an analysis of how the rate of cooling is related to intermolecular forces and the state of the substances.

Answer 1

Heating and cooling can change the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, and so, we can change the physical state of a substance by heating or cooling it. Increasing the pressure on a substance forces the molecules closer together, which increases the strength of intermolecular forces.
