Question

what happens when you heat a liquid? the particles begin to slide past one another more and more quickly, and the temperature of the substance goes up. when the temperature reaches the substances boiling point, the particles have enough thermal energy to begin moving far apart and escaping the liquid. which of the following can happen when a liquid is heated? select all that apply. the mass of each particle decreases. the substance vaporizes and becomes a gas. the substance gains thermal energy.

Explanation:

Heating a liquid causes particles to move faster, increasing thermal energy. At the boiling - point, it vaporizes into a gas. Mass of particles is not affected by heating in this context.

Answer:

B. The substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.
C. The substance gains thermal energy.
