The temperature of 500 mL of water is 16°C. What happens to the water
when thermal energy is transferred to it?
A. The volume of the water increases because thermal energy
increases as volume increases.
B. The temperature of the water increases because the average
kinetic energy of the water molecules increases.
C. The volume of the water decreases because thermal energy
decreases as volume decreases.
O D. The temperature of the water decreases because the avera
average
kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

The thermal energy is transferred to it will be " The temperature of the water increases because the average kinetic energy of the water molecules increases."

What is thermal energy?

The energy that will be stored inside a system which is accountable for such temperature is referred to as thermal energy.

What is average kinetic energy?

The average kinetic energy would be calculated on the basis of the square of the RMS velocity as well as the product of 1/2 of the weight within each gas particle.

The temperature of 500 mL of water is 16°C. What happens to the water when thermal energy is transferred to it. The temperature of the water increases because the average kinetic energy of the water molecules increases.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (B).

To know more about thermal energy and average kinetic energy.
