C) Steam has the most energy.

Steam has more energy than Ice and Water because the particles in ice are close together, the particles in water flow more loosely than in a solid like ice and in steam they are very active.

I hope that helps u understand :)

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ice is a solid and it is known that particles in a solid are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they have least kinetic energy.

Due to this solids have a definite shape and volume.

Water is a liquid and it is known that particles in a liquid are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. As a result, particles of a liquid are able to slide past each other due to some kinetic energy.

Hence, liquids have no definite shape but they have fixed volume.

Steam is a gaseous state of a water and it is known that particles of a gas are held by weak intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, particles of a gas have high kinetic energy and they tend to colloid more rapidly.

As a result, gases do not have definite shape but they occupy whole volume of a container.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options steam has the most energy.

vova2212 [387]

Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.

Explanation:

When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.

On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.

When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.

Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.

A scientist wants to predict the effect of rise of global air temperature on sea level around the world which method a controlle

Verizon [17]

A scientific model is a simplified version of some phenomenon that takes place in natural systems. A scientific model can be visual (flow charts), graphical, conceptual, or mathematical. These models are used to make predictions about how a set of conditions would change the present scenario in future. Scientific models can explain how the ongoing changes in the environment can show long term affect on our planet like the climate change. Therefore, a scientific model can be used to explain the phenomena like the effect of global air temperatures on the mean sea level around the world.
