A closed flask contains water in all its three states solid, liquid and vapour at `0^(@)C`. In this situation, the average kinetic energy of water molecules will be

A

the greatest in all the three states

B

the greatest in vapour state

C

the greatest in the liquid state

D

the greatest in the solid state

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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