Question

what will happen if you keep increasing the temperature of a liquid?
it will boil and become a gas.
it will transpire.
it will remain a liquid.
it will solidify.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "It will boil and become a gas": When the temperature of a liquid is increased, it gains thermal energy. At its boiling point, the liquid changes state to gas (vaporization/boiling). This aligns with the principles of phase changes in matter.
• "It will transpire": Transpiration is a process related to plants (water loss from plant leaves), not a general phase change of a liquid due to temperature increase.
• "It will remain a liquid": Increasing temperature provides energy; a liquid won't remain a liquid indefinitely as temperature rises—eventually, it will change state if temperature is high enough.
• "It will solidify": Solidification (freezing) occurs when temperature decreases, not increases. Increasing temperature moves a substance away from the solid state (for most substances).

Answer:

A. It will boil and become a gas.
