A typical phase change diagram is shown below. Which of the numbered arrows represent changes where the kinetic energy of the particles increases? http://sevenstaracademy.angellearning.com/AngelUploads/QuestionData/2a1efb29-fe9f-4c42-943d-cd88679cd39314N15553327533254155.jpg

i think its 2 & 4

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

hey dood!

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

what do you think of the question?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Oh hai. Um, a part of kinetic molecular theory states that temperature and kinetic energy are proportional. So, as one goes up or down, the other goes up or down.

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

ok

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

i think I'm correct then?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Whoa. Why are none of these correct. .-. Heat is gained during phase changes, but the temperature stays constant.

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

cause the arrows on 2 & 4 both have them pointing up

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

oh....welll....

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, they're pointing in a positive direction of heat energy. Hmm...

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

oh wait, i forgot to put options ;P

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

A) 1 and 2 B) 1 and 3 C) 2 and 4 D) 3 and 4

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

I CHOOSE C

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I too choose C. Bad question imo.

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

lol

OpenStudy (epicteatime):

i wanted your opinion!!
