Suppose you pour a glass of ice water and set it on the kitchen table. After a few minutes, the outside of the glass will be covered with drops of water. Why did this happen?

• Oxygen in the air cooled and condensed onto the cold glass.

• Water vapor in the air cooled and condensed onto the cold glass.

• Water vapor in the air cooled and evaporated onto the cold glass.

• Water seeped through pores in the glass.

When you boil water in a pot, some of the water escapes as steam. Which of the following choices explains what is happening with the water molecules in this scenario?

• The molecules slow down as the kinetic energy increases and move farther apart from one another.

• The molecules slow down as the kinetic energy decreases and move closer together.

• The molecules speed up as the kinetic energy increases and the molecules move farther apart from one another.

• The molecules speed up as the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules move closer together.
