Which of the following could not have happened as a pot of water boiled on the stove?
A-Particle vibration increased.
B-Particle vibration decreased.
C-Particles moves farther apart.
D-Particles moves randomly.
If you have 8-15 as well that would be awesome :)
To determine which of the given choices could not have happened as a pot of water boiled on the stove, let's analyze each option:
A- Particle vibration increased: When water boils, the temperature increases, causing the water molecules to gain energy and vibrate faster. This choice could have happened during boiling.
B- Particle vibration decreased: As the water temperature rises and boiling occurs, the energy of water molecules increases, resulting in faster vibration. Therefore, particle vibration decreasing could not have happened as the water boiled.
C- Particles move farther apart: During boiling, as water molecules gain energy and begin to vaporize, they transition from a liquid to a gas phase. In this process, the water molecules move farther apart. Thus, particles moving farther apart is a characteristic that happens as water boils.
D- Particles move randomly: As the water boils, the water molecules transition from a liquid phase to a gas phase and become more energetic. This increase in energy causes the water molecules to move more randomly. Hence, particles moving randomly could occur while boiling.
Therefore, option B (Particle vibration decreased) is the one that could not have happened as a pot of water boiled on the stove.
Regarding your second question, 8 - 15, do you need an explanation on how to solve an arithmetic problem with numbers 8 and 15?
