A certain type of ship has two tanks in its engine. Each tank contains a different type of fuel. When the engine turns on, the same amount of energy is transferred out of both fuels as shown in the diagram below. Why did fuel 1 change phase, but fuel 2 stayed the same? Explain what happened to the molecules of both fuels.

Answer:
Fuel 1 changed phase because the energy drawn from it dropped its temperature below the transitional temperature that causes a phase change, fuel 2 still has its temperature well above the transitional temperature required to change phase.
Explanation: This is because, the temperature of substances generally indicates the average kinetic energy of its molecules. An increase in energy input to the system will result in a change to a more mobile phase like from solid to a liquid state or from a liquid state to a gaseous state state, while taking energy from the system will cause a transition to a less mobile phase like gas to liquid or liquid to solid state.
