Further heating then adds energy to the liquid particles, increasing their speed, kinetic energy, and temperature. This is the second slope on the curve. Once the particles are energetic enough to completely break free of each other, they start to enter the gas phase. Boiling occurs at the second plateau of this curve, and the temperature at this point is referred to as the boiling point . Again, the added heat is being used to break up the interactions between particles instead of increasing their kinetic energy, so no temperature increase is observed until all particles are in the gas phase. Finally, adding even more energy will further speed up the gas particles, increasing the kinetic energy and temperature of the substance.
James is going camping and decides to really live the experience. He brings only his tent and essentials and sets out into the woods. After pitching camp he remembers he needs to secure water. Luckily there is a stream nearby so he fill s a pot with water and brings it back to his camp. He starts a fire, placing the pot on top of it so the water can boil
Based on the above, answer the following question:
Will the particles in water move slower or faster after increasing their temperature?
