The graph represents the heating of water in a pot. At 150 seconds, the water has just reached a boil. If the heat is left on, what will happen to the temperature and volume of water in the pot? (All temperatures in °C.)

• The temperature will rise, and the water volume will decrease.

• The temperature will rise, and the water volume will remain constant.

• The temperature will remain constant, and the water volume will decrease

• The temperature will remain constant, and the water volume will remain constant.

Which of the following descriptions explains the process of water freezing?

• Water molecules speed up until they escape into a different phase.

• Water molecules slow down until they begin to bond together.

• Water molecules are squeezed together by high pressure until they begin to stick to one another

• As water molecules cool, their shape changes from rounded to irregular, making them more likely to link to one another.
