Question

a person is drinking a glass of soda with ice. which option describes the relative kinetic energy of molecules in and above the soda in the glass? (1 point) in: least and intermediate energy above: greatest energy in: least energy above: greatest energy in: least energy above: intermediate and greatest energy in: greatest energy above: least energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of molecules is related to their motion. Molecules in a liquid (soda) have more motion than those in a solid (ice), and gas - phase molecules above the soda have the most motion due to less intermolecular forces restricting them. So molecules in the soda have intermediate energy compared to ice (least energy if considering ice is also part of the system), and molecules above the soda have the greatest energy.

Answer:

in: least and intermediate energy
above: greatest energy
