Under which conditions (in terms of kinetic energy) does boiling occur? How is the kinetic energy in the liquid increased?
1 answer:
Explanation:
Boiling is defined as a process in which vapor pressure of a liquid substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
During this change liquid and vapors remain in equilibrium and the equation for this change is as follows.
Therefore, when boiling takes place then average kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase equals to the average kinetic energy of particles in vapor phase.
Hence, we can increase the kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase by increasing the temperature because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature as follows.

Answer:
The volume of a gas approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
You may have done a <em>Charles' Law experiment</em> in the lab, in which you measured the volumes of a gas at various temperatures.
You plotted them on a graph, and perhaps you were asked to extrapolate the graph to lower temperatures.
Your graph probably looked something like the one below.
There is clearly an x-intercept at some low temperature.
Inference: The volume of a gas approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
