Question 19
H

Liquid nitrogen at its boiling point turns into nitrogen gas at the same temperature. How does the internal energy of the nitrogen change?

[1]
A

It stays the same, because the temperature of the nitrogen does not change

B

It increases, because the kinetic energy store of the particles increases

C

It increases, because the potential energy store of the particles increases

D

It decreases, because energy is used up in separating the nitrogen particles
