Question

What happens when heat is removed from water?

The water particles move farther apart.
The water changes from a liquid to a gas.
The temperature of the water increases.
The kinetic energy of the water particles decreases

Answer 1

D)The kinetic energy of the water particles decreases

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is removed from water then there will be decrease in the kinetic energy of water particles. This is because on removing the heat, collisions between the particles will decrease as a result the energy will decrease. Thus, particles will stop moving randomly from one place to another.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the water particles decreases.
