A chef finds a sealed container consisting of an ingredient that goes into his restaurant’s secret sauce. The ingredient’s molecules are moving in place. What will happen if the chef causes the ingredient to change phase by transferring energy into it? After the phase change, the ingredient’s molecules will move . . .

Workers find two substances. One is a toxic chemical. The other is a safe chemical. Both chemicals are liquids at room temperature. As a test, the workers transfer the same amount of energy out of the two containers and find that only the toxic chemical changes phase. How is the toxic chemical different from the safe chemical?

stronger attraction between its molecules than the safe chemical. Its molecules now move in place.

weaker attraction between its molecules than the safe chemical. Its molecules now move in place.

A company uses a substance that is a solid under normal conditions. This substance will be used in extreme conditions, which could make the substance’s molecules move faster and cause a phase change. How would this phase change occur, and how would the molecules of the substance be affected under these extreme conditions? Energy would be transferred . . .

into the substance, and its molecules would move around each other.

out of the substance, and its molecules would move away from each other.

out of the substance, and its molecules would move around each other.

into the substance, and its molecules would move in place.

The image above shows information about two different substances in sealed containers. A scientist transfers the same amount of energy into both substances. One substance changes phase, but the other does not. Which chemical changed phase, and why did it change?

Substance A changed phase because its molecules were able to move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them. It is now a gas.

Substance A changed phase because the weak attraction between its molecules allowed them move faster. It is now a gas.

Substance B changed phase because the molecules were able to move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them. It is now a gas.

Substance B changed phase because the strong attraction between molecules made their movement slower. It is now a solid.

A student left a jar of water outside his home. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. When he put the jar outside, the water was liquid. Twelve hours later, the water had changed phase and was a gas. What happened to the water molecules?

When the student left the jar outside, the molecules were moving around each other . Later, the molecules were moving away from each other .

When the student left the jar outside, the molecules were moving around each other . Later, the molecules were moving in place .

When the student left the jar outside, the molecules were moving away from each other. Later, the molecules were moving around each other .

When the student left the jar outsid e , the molecules were moving in place . Later, the molecules were moving around each other .

Detectives find two substances at a crime scene. One is a poison, and the other is a cleaning chemical. At room temperature, both substances are liquids. To test the substances, the detectives transfer the same amount of energy into both substances, but only the cleaning chemical changes phase. How is the cleaning chemical different from the poison? The cleaning chemical has a . . .

weaker attraction between its molecules than the poison. Its molecules now move away from each other.

weaker attraction between its molecules than the poison. Its molecules now move in place.

stronger attraction between its molecules than the poison. Its molecules now move away from each other.

stronger attraction between its molecules than the poison. Its molecules now move around each other.

A substance's molecules are moving around each other. What will happen if you transfer energy into the substance and cause a phase change?

molecules will move faster, substance will be a gas

molecules will move slower, substance will be a solid

molecules will move slower, substance will be a liquid

molecules will move faster, substance will be a liquid

You have two substances at room temperature. Both substances are a liquid. You transfer the same amount of energy out of both substances but only one substance changes phase. What happened?

the substance with the stronger attraction will turn to a solid

the substance with the weaker attraction will change to a gas

the substance with the stronger attraction will turn to a gas

the substance with the weaker attraction will turn to a solid
