Q. A closed flask contains water in all its three states solid, liquid and vapour at $0^{\circ} \,C$. In this situation, the average kinetic energy of water molecules will be

AIPMTAIPMT 1992States of Matter

Solution:

In the three states of matter, the maximum kinetic energy is possessed by the gaseous molecules, so water vapour state has maximum kinetic energy in this situation.
