If heat is absorbed by water, what phase change occurs. a. gas to solid. b. liquid to gas. c. liquid to solid. d. solid to liquid

The correct answer to the question is B). Liquid to gas.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand boiling.

Boiling is the thermal process of state or phase change in which a liquid substance is converted into its corresponding gaseous state at its boiling point.

The thermal energy of gas is more as compared to liquid. As per the question, we are providing heat to the water. Hence, each and every time, the thermal energy of the water is increasing. Due to this absorption of heat, the water will start boiling at a particular temperature i.e the water will undergo boiling.

Hence, the water will be converted into gaseous steam.

The liquid water can not be solidified by absorbing heat. It is so because solid has less thermal energy as compared to water. The solidification occurs when water loses its thermal energy.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
