Question

Juno created a diagram to describe characteristics of freezing and deposition.

A Venn diagram shows 2 intersecting circles, with the left circle labeled freezing and the right circle labeled deposition. There is an X in the left circle only and a Y in the intersecting region.

Which labels belong in the areas marked X and Y?
A:
X: absorbs heat
Y: involves a change between solids and liquids
B:
X: absorbs heat
Y: involves a change between gases and solids
C:
X: involves a change between solids and liquids
Y: releases heat
D:
X: involves a change between gases and liquids
Y: releases heat

Answer 1

In a Venn diagram, the area marked X represents freezing and the intersecting region represents both freezing and deposition. The labels that belong in the areas marked X and Y are X: involves a change between solids and liquids; Y: involves a change between gases and solids.

In the Venn diagram, the left circle represents freezing and the right circle represents deposition.

The area marked X belongs to freezing, so it should have the label: X: involves a change between solids and liquids.

The intersecting region represents both freezing and deposition, so it should have the label: Y: involves a change between solids and gases.

Therefore, the correct answer is B: X: involves a change between solids and liquids; Y: involves a change between gases and solids.
