Yuki has a bowl of ice. She places the ice in a warm room and watches as it melts into liquid water. Yuki then places the liquid water over a Bunsen burner and heats it until it
vaporizes.
How does the temperature of the vaporized gas compare to the temperature of the solid ice that Yuki began with?
O The temperature difference cannot be determined because phase changes are not related to temperature.
O The temperature of the vaporized gas is the same as the temperature of the solid ice.
O The temperature of the vaporized gas is higher than the temperature of the solid ice.
O The temperature of the vaporized gas is lower than the temperature of the solid ice.
