Consider the graph. A graph labeled Heating Curve has time as the horizontal axis and Temperature as the vertical axis. A line starts at 0 and rises to 1500 degrees where it levels off briefly; this section of line is labeled solid. The line continues to rise until it levels off at about 2750; this curve is labeled Liquid. After running horizontal for some time, the line rises again; this curve is labeled Gas. Based on the information in the graph, which statement best applies to a gas? Its particles have the highest average kinetic energy. Its particles have the smallest volume of all three states of matter. Its particles are slowing down because of a temperature increase. Its particles are moving apart due to repulsion between them.
