Question 179

When a liquid evaporates, the most energetic molecules escape from its surface into the surrounding air.

Which option correctly describes what happens to the average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules and the temperature of the remaining liquid?

A

Average kinetic energy of remaining molecules decreases; Temperature of remaining liquid decreases

B

Average kinetic energy of remaining molecules decreases; Temperature of remaining liquid increases

C

Average kinetic energy of remaining molecules remains unchanged; Temperature of remaining liquid decreases

D

Average kinetic energy of remaining molecules remains unchanged; Temperature of remaining liquid remains unchanged
