Question

which of the following can happen when a liquid is heated? select all that apply. the substance vaporizes and becomes a gas. the particles gain thermal energy. the mass of each particle increases. what happens when you heat a liquid? the particles begin to slide past one another more and more quickly, and the temperature of the substance goes up. when the temperature reaches the substances boiling point, the particles have enough thermal energy to begin moving far apart and escaping the liquid.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall heating - liquid concept

When a liquid is heated, its particles gain thermal energy.

Step2: Analyze particle behavior

As the particles gain thermal energy, they move more quickly and slide past one another more easily. When the temperature reaches the substance's boiling point, the particles have enough thermal energy to begin moving far apart and escaping the liquid, and the substance vaporizes and becomes a gas. The mass of each particle does not increase during heating of a liquid.

Answer:

• The particles gain thermal energy.
• The particles begin to slide past one another more quickly, and the temperature goes up. When the temperature reaches the substance's boiling point, the particles have enough thermal energy to begin moving far apart and escaping the liquid.
• The substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.
