Answer to Question #164323 in Political Science for Colton

Question

Emily left a sealed jar of water outside her home water can be a liquid solid or gas when she put it outside the water What is a solid 12 hours later the water head face changed and was a liquid what happened to the water water molcules

Answer 1

When Emily left the Sealed Jar, the water molecules were in a solid-state. Particles in the solid-state were below freezing point with low temperatures, and thus most low kinetic energy making molecules move in place. Therefore, solid particles are closely packed together with stronger molecular forces of attraction and hence do not move freely.

 

Whereas after 12 hours, the solid particles of frozen water gained temperature and kinetic energy to break the intermolecular forces of attraction. The liquid water particles have the highest kinetic energy, and they move freely around the place.
