Jayla did an investigation about the different states of matter. As part of the investigation, she wanted to change a liquid into a solid. What must she do to bring about this change in state?(1 point)

place the liquid in a different container

remove energy from the liquid so that its particles slow down

increase the energy of the liquid so that its particles move faster

stir the liquid as quickly and thoroughly as possible

are you sure?

I apologize for the confusion earlier. The correct response is actually:

remove energy from the liquid so that its particles slow down

why?

When a liquid is cooled, energy is removed from it causing the particles to slow down and come closer together, ultimately forming a solid. This process is called solidification or freezing, and it is the phase change that converts a liquid into a solid.
