In which phase do water molecules have the highest kinetic energy?

Water molecules have the highest kinetic energy in the liquid phase, as they have enough energy to move around freely but are still bound together by intermolecular forces.


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).


When water reaches a boil the temperature remains constant the temperature continues to rise the kinetic energy will drop the kinetic energy will continue to rise?

When water reaches a boil, its temperature remains constant at 100 degrees Celsius until all the water has evaporated. During this phase change, the kinetic energy increases to break the intermolecular bonds holding the water molecules together. Once all the water has evaporated, the temperature will start to rise again as the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases further.


What kind of energy possessed water falling from a dam?

Kinetic energy


Why does 100 degrees Celsius have the largest average kinetic energy?

100 degrees Celsius corresponds to the boiling point of water, when water molecules have the highest average kinetic energy in the liquid state before transitioning to gas. At this temperature, the water molecules are moving the fastest, resulting in the largest average kinetic energy among temperatures below the boiling point.

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

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.


Where does the water have its maximum kinetic energy and minimum gravitational energy?

The water has its maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of a waterfall where its velocity is highest. It has minimum gravitational energy at the top of the waterfall before it starts to fall, as it has not yet gained significant potential energy from being at a higher elevation.

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 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
