Question

Water is boiling in a clear pot, as shown in the picture. A clear pot full of water sits over gas burner. The water has large bubbles rising in the water. Which takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top? Thermal energy is transferred. Water molecules gain kinetic energy. Chemical energy is transferred. Water molecules gain thermal energy.

Answer 1

Transfer and gain of kinetic energy by the water molecules takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top.

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy is a another word to express the heat energy.

When we boil a water over a gas burner then due to convention, heat energy can be transfer to the bottom water molecules in the form of thermal energy. After gaining the thermal energy movement of water molecules increases as a result of the increase of the kinetic energy.

Hence, option (1), (2) & (4) are correct i.e. transfer and gain of kinetic energy by the water molecules is done.
