What is happening to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a pot of water when it is heated on a stove? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of molecules in a pot increases when it is heated on a stove . The heat energy is spent to decrease the intermolecular attractive force . The result is increase in kinetic energy due to increase in the velocity of molecules

formula for kinetic energy of one mole of a monoatomic  gas

= 3/2 RT

when temperature increases , kinetic energy increases .
