Question

Quiz
1. When a gas is heated,
A all of the absorbed energy is converted to kinetic energy
O
B
none of the energy is converted to kinetic energy
Csome of the absorbed energy is converted to potential energy and
some is converted to kinetic energy
D all of the absorbed energy is converted to potential energy

Answer 1

The correct option is C. Some of the absorbed energy is converted to potential energy and some is converted to kinetic energy

Explanation:

• When a gas is heated, some of the molecules absorb enough energy to convert it into kinetic energy, which makes the molecules to move faster, collide with each other and also collide with the walls of the container.
• But some of the molecule do not get required energy to convert it into kinetic energy, whereas it is converted into potential energy, energy possessed by a molecule due to its position.

Thus by considering this above explanation it is clear that Option C can be consider as the opt answer
