Question

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. which of the following can happen when a liquid is heated? select all that apply. the mass of each particle decreases. the substance gains thermal energy. the substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.

Explanation:

Heating a liquid adds thermal energy to its particles. The mass of individual particles does not change with temperature. When heated, the liquid's particles gain thermal energy, and at the boiling point, the substance vaporizes into a gas as particles escape the liquid phase.

Answer:

• The substance gains thermal energy.
• The substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.
