Question

The heating curve shows the energy gain of a substance as it changes from solid to gas. Which section of the graph shows the liquid phase of the substance gaining kinetic energy?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E

Answer 1

Answer:

C. C

Explanation:

The heating curve is a graphical representation shows that how different phases of substances change as it is influenced by the increase in temperature or heat.

Section A represents solid phase, Section B represents solid-liquid phase, section C represents liquid phase, section D represent liquid-gas phase and section E represents gas phase.

Section C of the graph shows the liquid phase of the substance gaining kinetic energy. During Phase C, heat energy is absorbed and liquid particles gain kinetic energy to change into gas form that is section E.

Hence, the correct option is C.C.
