B.) Digestion

when food passes through the gastrointestinal tract, the food get mixed with digestive juices which break down large food molecules. The body absorbs these molecules/nutrients through the small intestine and enter your blood stream. Your blood stream delivers these nutrients to the rest of the body.

Intermolecular forces do not have any effect on determining the physical properties of

djyliett [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The physical properties of melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, evaporation, viscosity, surface tension, and solubility are related to the strength of attractive forces between molecules. These attractive forces are called Intermolecular Forces.

Under which conditions (in terms of kinetic energy) does boiling occur? How is the kinetic energy in the liquid increased?

Simora [160]

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.

$X(l) \rightleftharpoons X(g)$

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.

K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$
