SC.6.P.11.1

Students are investigating temperature changes on substances in their gaseous state. Which of the following is most likely to happen to the gaseous substance when the students decrease the temperature?

• molecular motion of the atoms will increase, causing it to change to a solid state

• molecular motion of the atoms will decrease, causing it to change to a liquid state

• molecular motion of the atoms will decrease, causing it to lose molecular mass

• molecular motion of the atoms will increase, causing it to change from the gaseous state

Temperature is the measurement of the average energy of motion of the particles in a substance. Because of this, one could conclude that substances that have had an increase in temperature have USUALLY

• undergone a chemical change.

• changed into a solid state.

• changed into a liquid or gaseous state.

• decreased in molecular weight.

The table shows the affect of temperature change on three different substances. From the observations in the table above, one could conclude that increases in temperatures change

• liquids to solids and liquids to gases.

• solids to liquids and liquids to gases.

• liquids to solids and gases to liquids.

• solids to liquids and gases to liquids.

An unknown substance changes states when heat energy is added or removed. From this information, one can conclude that temperature changes affect the

• chemical state of the substance.

• physical state of the substance.

• atomic state of the substance.

• molecular state of the substance.
