A typical phase change diagram is shown below. Which of the numbered arrows represent changes where the kinetic energy of the particles increases?

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.

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....

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.
