Question

What happens inside water molecules if heat is added when water boils?
  1. The energy is stored in the form of potential energy; therefore, the temperature doesn't increase
  2. The energy is added as kinetic energy; therefore, the molecules move faster
  3. The energy is stored as potential energy; therefore, the molecules move faster
  4. The energy is added as kinetic energy; therefore, the temperature increases
  5. All options are correct

A

Water boils at 100C. If we add more heat to boiling water, then it is used to convert to vapour and its potential energy increases. But the temperature doesn,t increase above 100C.
