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 slower, substance will be a solid

• molecules will move slower, substance will be a liquid

• molecules will move faster, substance will be a liquid

• molecules will move faster, substance will be a gas

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 weaker attraction will change to a gas

• the substance with the stronger attraction will turn to a solid

• the substance with the stronger attraction will turn to a gas

• the substance with the weaker attraction will turn to a solid

You have a substance in a jar. In the beginning the molecules move around each other. Later the molecules are moving away from each other. What happened to the substance?

• Before the substance was a gas. Later it was a liquid.

• Before the substance was a solid. Later it was a liquid.

• Before the substance was a liquid. Later it was a solid.

• Before the substance was a liquid. Later it was a gas.
