Consider the statement below.“When nitrogen is liquefied, heat is released.”Is this statement true or false?

A
It is false because nitrogen absorbs heat when it is liquefied.
B
It is false because nitrogen cannot absorb enough heat to liquefy.
C
It is true because heat is released when a gas changes to a liquid.
D
It is true because heat is released when a liquid changes to a gas.

is initially present in a state where its molecules are far apart. During a change of state, its molecules slow down. Which change of state has most likely taken place?

Question illustration
A
from a gas to a liquid
B
from a liquid to a gas
C

Which best explains the relationship between evaporation and temperature?

A
A liquid evaporates slower at lower temperatures because the molecules are more spread apart and are not pushed as easily from the liquid’s surface.
B
A liquid evaporates faster at lower temperatures because the attractions are decreased and more particles can escape the surface of the liquid.
C
A liquid evaporates slower at higher temperatures because the vapor pressure of the liquid is higher, so fewer molecules can escape the surface.
D
A liquid evaporates faster at higher temperatures because more particles have a higher speed and can overcome attractions in the liquid.
