Question

Which of these indicates that a liquid has transferred thermal energy to the air?

O The liquid increases in temperature, and its particles lose kinetic energy
O The liquid decreases in temperature, and its particles gain kinetic energy
O The liquid increases in temperature, and its particles gain kinetic energy.
O The liquid decreases in temperature, and its particles lose kinetic energy
No

Answer 1

The liquid decreases in temperature,and its particales lose kinetic energy

Answer 2

The liquid decreases in temperature and its particles lose kinetic energy.

Temperature is proportional to kinetic energy, so if temperature decreases, kinetic energy decreases. Energy has been removed from the liquid, because it is in the air
