What happens to the kinetic energy of the particles of a liquid when its temperature is raised ? State the name and symbol of SI unit of temperature. The boiling point of water is 100 C. convert this temperature in SI units.
When a liquid is heated the molecules of the liquid gain energy and begins to move faster. Thus, the kinetic energy of the molecules of the liquid increases.
The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin or K.
100 0C = 373.15 K
