16. Suppose both tanks were left in the freezer until the H2O in each reached thermal equilibrium with the air in the freezer. Based on the passage, the temperature of the H2O in each tank would most likely have been:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is H
Explanation
Thermal equilibrium means that the temperature of the water is consistent with the ambient temperature. The first line in the article has already flown out of the ambient temperature (the temperature of the freezer) is -12°C, so the water should also be -12°C at this time
17. Look at the first sentence of each scientist, It can be seen that the four scientists all said that gas molecules repel each other
18. Only Scientist 2 said in the second sentence that as the temperature increases, the repulsion between molecules decreases, so the pressure decreases. And because the balloon is elastic, the volume of the balloon will decrease
