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 increases. the particles gain thermal energy. the substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.

Explanation:

Heating a liquid gives thermal energy to its particles. When the boiling - point is reached, vaporization occurs and the liquid turns into a gas. Mass of particles is not affected by heating in this context as it is a physical change related to energy and state, not a nuclear or chemical change that would alter particle mass.

Answer:

The particles gain thermal energy.
The substance vaporizes and becomes a gas.
