In which phase do water molecules have the highest kinetic energy?
vapour/steam
Do molecules have least kinetic energy in liquid phase?
If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).
What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?
The raised water, which stores the energy, has gravitational potential energy.While it is moving, the water has kinetic energy.
Water is potential or kinetic energy?
That depends on whether the water is in motion. Water coming from a fire hose certainly packs a lot of kinetic energy. Water held in a reservoir behind a dam represents a lot of potential energy but no kinetic.
In what state does a fixed amount of water have the least amount of kinetic energy?
Water has the least amount of kinetic energy as a solid.
In which phase do water molecules have the highest kinetic energy?
vapour/steam
In which sample is the average kinetic energy of the particles greatest?
in the gas phase because during this phase there is the highest temperature bc the particles are moving the fastest

Which phase of matter do the particles have the least energy?
The phase of matter that has the least kinetic energy is the solid phase. You know that temperature is a measure of kinetic energy among molecules of a substance and solid is the phase of matter that occurs at the lowest temperature.
What phase of matter do molecules have the lowest amount of energy?
The kinetic energy of water molecules in ice is less than the kinetic energy of watermolecules in water and that is less than the kinetic energy of water molecules in stream.That is because the range of temperatures where ice exists, -273C to 0C, is less than the range where water exists, 0C to 100C, which is less than the range where water gas exists, 100C and up. Kinetic energy climbs continuously with temperature through each phase.Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.All molecules have an average kinetic energy proportional to the absolute temperature, particularly, Translational kinetic energy =3kT/2.There is no maximum. Increasing temperature increases molecular kinetic energy until the energy destroys the molecule and then the fragments will have an average kinetic energy 3kT/2.
What is happening to the molecules of water as they are heated?
As water is heated, the water molecules gain kinetic energy and they move faster. Eventually, they get enough kinetic energy to move fast enough to escape the liquid phase and become a gas/vapor. This is the boiling point.
Explain by kinetic molecular theory why ice is more dense then water vapours?
By looking at the states of matter ( solid ,liquid or gas) we can determine that a giben sample will have how much energy. Molecules in solid have least kinetic energy. Molecules in vapor (gas) have highest kinetic energy. Liquids have moderatee kinetic energy.
Why does the kinetic energy of water molecules remain the same when it reaches the boiling point?
average kinetic energy of molecules is roughly equivilant to temperature. as water reaches boiling point the temperature stops increasing. Instead the energy your putting in makes a phase change from liquid to gas.
What are the energy transformations in a power plant?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
What are the energy transformations in hydro power plants?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
How fast do things spread out in liquids compared to gases?
Gases spread out faster than liquids, and liquids spread out faster than solids. Gases, liquids, and solids are the three main phases of matter. A material moves to a different phase if its kinetic energy is changed enough (Kinetic energy is a measure of heat or temperature). For example, if you heat an ice cube (solid water), it will melt into water (liquid water). Gases have the highest kinetic energy. The molecules inside a gas are the fastest moving of the three phases. That means gas will spread out the fastest. Kinetic energy: Gas ---> Liquid ---> Solid [Decreasing] Solid ---> Liquid ---> Gas [Increasing]
What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?
The raised water, which stores the energy, has gravitational potential energy.While it is moving, the water has kinetic energy.
