Review for 1st quarter science benchmark

What must happen to a liquid before it can become a gas?

• energy must be added to the liquid

• mass must be added to the liquid

• energy must be removed from the liquid

• the mass of the liquid must decrease

Answer explanation

when you add heat to a substance the molecules begin to speed up and move faster thus the substance changes from one state to another. If you remove heat the molecules slow down and get closer together.
