Question

1. what eventually happens if energy is continually removed from a liquid?

it melts
it condenses
it freezes
it boils

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "It melts": Melting is when a solid gains energy to become a liquid, so this is incorrect.
• "It condenses": Condensation is when a gas loses energy to become a liquid, not a process for a liquid losing energy further in the context of this question.
• "It freezes": Freezing is the process where a liquid loses energy (heat) and changes into a solid. If energy is continually removed from a liquid, its temperature drops until it reaches the freezing point and then it freezes (changes to solid).
• "It boils": Boiling is when a liquid gains energy to become a gas, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. it freezes
