Question

20. any energy gained by the water after a phase change the average kinetic energy of the molecules, and the temperature. increase, decreases decreases, drops increases, rises decreases, does nothing

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of molecules is directly related to temperature. When water gains energy after a phase - change, the energy is used to increase the motion of the molecules. As the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases, the temperature of the water rises.

Answer:

C. Increases, rises
