1. Which of the following can take the shape of the container it is in but has a fixed volume?. . A. argon gas. B. liquid bromine. C. solid water. D. hydrogen plasma. 2 . In which of these samples do the molecules have the greatest kinetic energy? A. solid ice (-25 °C). B. water vapor (102°C). C. ice water (0°C). D. liquid water (54°C).
The correct answer for the first question is liquid bromine. Liquids take the shape of its container but has a fixed volume. The correct answer for the second question is B. Water Vapor. Kinetic energy is a function of temperature, thus molecules at a higher temperature will have high Kinetic energy. In the choices given, water vapor has the highest temperature therefore it has the greatest kinetic energy.
