Questions  

In the condensation of a gas the mean kinetic energy (K) and potential energy ( U) of molecules change; thus:

a
K decreases, U decreases
b
K increases, U keeps constant
c
K keeps constant, U decreases
d
K decreases, U increases

detailed solution

Correct option is C

internal energy of a liquid is less than that of a gas hence it will be decreased while k remains constant as condensation takes place at touch.
