Lily is doing a science experiment with a substance in a sealed jar. At first, the substance’s molecules are moving around each other. What will happen to Lily’s substance if she transfers energy into the substance and causes a phase change?
After the phase change, the substance’s molecules will move . . .
slower, and the substance will be a solid.
faster, and the substance will be a liquid.
slower, and the substance will be a liquid.
faster, and the substance will be a gas.

Divers found two substances at the bottom of the ocean. At room temperature, both substances are liquid. Scientists then transferred the same amount of energy out of both substances. When a scientist checked again, Substance 1 had changed phase, but Substance 2 had not. How are Substances 1 and 2 different?
Substance 1 has a . . .
weaker attraction between its molecules than Substance 2. Its molecules now move in place.
weaker attraction between its molecules than Substance 2.Its molecules now move around each other.
stronger attraction between its molecules than Substance 2. Its molecules now move in place.
stronger attraction between its molecules than Substance 2. Its molecules now move away from each other.

Anh measured the temperature of a pond near his house. Before he left for school, the water in the pond was 18°C. When he came home from school, the temperature of the pond was higher than it was in the morning. What happened to the water molecules while he was at school?
The molecules started moving faster.
The molecules became larger.
The water lost cold molecules.
The molecules got closer together.

A scientist has a container with a substance inside. At first, the molecules in the substance move away from each other. Later, the molecules move around each other. What change did the scientist observe in the substance?
Before, the substance was a liquid. Later, it was a gas.
Before, the substance was a solid. Later, it was a liquid.
Before, the substance was a liquid. Later, it was a solid.
Before, the substance was a gas. Later, it was a liquid.
300s - Q6
Scientists digging in a cave found an unknown substance. The scientists found that the substance’s molecules were moving around each other. The scientists increased the speed of the substance’s molecules and caused a phase change. How did the scientists do this, and how did this affect the substance?
The scientists transferred energy . . .
out of the substance, and the substance changed into a solid.
into the substance, and the substance changed into a liquid.
into the substance, and the substance changed into a gas.
out of the substance, and the substance changed into a liquid.

A cook had a jar containing a sweet food and a jar containing a sour food. The image above shows the sweet and sour foods. At room temperature, both foods are liquids. The same amount of energy was transferred into both substances. Later, one of the foods had changed phase while the other had not. Which food changed phase, and how did it change?
The sour food changed because the weak attraction between molecules let them move faster. Its molecules now move away from each other.
The sweet food changed because the strong attraction between molecules made their movement slower. Its molecules now move around each other.
The sweet food changed because the molecules were able to move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them. Its molecules now move away from each other.
The sour food changed because the molecules were able to move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them. Its molecules now move in place.

Both have molecules that are moving.
Neither has molecules that are moving.
Only the water in the ocean has molecules that are moving.
120s - Q9
What happens to molecules when their kinetic energy decreases?
It depends on the type of molecules.
They move faster.
They move slower.
They get heavier.

Mario is making chocolate. In part of the chocolate-making process, he changed the phase from a liquid to a solid. What happened to the molecules of chocolate when it changed phase?
Before changing phase, the molecules were moving away from each other. After changing phase, they were moving around each other.
Before changing phase, the molecules were moving in place. After changing phase, they were moving around each other.
Before changing phase, the molecules were moving around each other. After changing phase, they were moving in place.
Before changing phase, the molecules were moving around each other. After changing phase, they were moving away from each other.
120s - Q11
Scientists put a sample of water into a sealed tank. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. At first, the water was a liquid. Then, the scientists transferred energy out of the substance, and the water changed phase. What happened to the movement of the water molecules?
After the phase change, the water molecules moved . . .
faster and started moving around each other.
slower and started moving in place.
faster and started moving away from each other.
slower and started moving around each other.
300s - Q12
A scientist has two substances that she is testing in her lab: a pink substance and a green substance. At room temperature, both substances are liquids. The scientist transferred the same amount of energy into both substances. She finds only the pink substance changed phase. How is the pink substance different from the green substance?
The pink substance has a . . .
stronger attraction between its molecules than the green substance. Its molecules move around each other.
weaker attraction between its molecules than the green substance. Its molecules now move away from each other.
stronger attraction between its molecules than the green substance. Its molecules now move away from each other.
weaker attraction between its molecules than the green substance. Its molecules now move in place.

The fuel tank of an airplane has a device that measures the fuel’s temperature. Before the airplane took off, the temperature of the fuel was 27°C. After the airplane had been flying for one hour, the temperature of the fuel had decreased to 3°C. Which of the following must have happened to the molecules of the fuel?
The molecules became smaller in size.
The molecules got farther apart.
The molecules started moving slower.
The fuel gained cold molecules.
