What happens when heat flows out of a liquid?
A. The liquid's temperature decreases but it always remains a liquid.
B. The liquid's temperature increases and its state may change from liquid to gas.
C. The liquid's temperature increases but it always remains a liquid.
D. The liquid's temperature decreases and its state may change from liquid to solid.
Answer (2)
When heat flows out of a liquid, its temperature decreases, potentially leading to a state change from liquid to solid. Thus, the correct answer is that the liquid may solidify as it cools. Heat loss decreases molecular kinetic energy, affecting the state of the matter. ;
When heat flows out of a liquid, its temperature decreases, which can lead to a change in state from liquid to solid. The correct answer is Option D. As the liquid cools, the kinetic energy of its molecules decreases, allowing solidification to occur.
