A student hung her clothes out to dry. What happened to the water as the clothes dried?

• The water particles became less dense and turned into air.

• The water particles increased in kinetic energy and turned into air.

What happens to gas particles in a closed container when you increase the pressure?

• The particles condense because they have less space to move around.

• The particles have more collisions, and their kinetic energy increases.
