What does a decrease in temperature indicate about the molecules in a sample of liquid water? decreased chemical energy of the molecules decreased kinetic energy of the molecules increased chemical energy of the molecules increased kinetic energy of the molecules how does a sample of helium at 15 â°c compare to a sample of helium at 215 k? the helium at 15 â°c has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at 215 k. the helium at 15 â°c has lower nuclear energy than the sample at 215 k. the helium at 15 â°c has slower-moving atoms than the sample at 215 k. the helium at 15 â°c has smaller atoms than the sample at 215 k.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
