Question

Arrange the following substances in increasing order of kinetic energy
possessed by their particles:
Air, orange juice, salt.

Answer 1

Answer:

air>Juice>orange>salt

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Salt, Orange Juice, and Air where Salt > Orange Juice > Air in terms of kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy ∝ $\frac{1}{Inter-Molecular Forces of Attraction}$

This means that when Intermolecular Forces of Attraction increases then Kinetic energy decreases and vice versa.

If Kinetic Energy is high then the particles of matter move very fast. In that case, if solids possess high Kinetic Energy then your study table or your computer will pixelate and vanish in front of you, right!?

So in solids if K.E (Kinetic Energy) is less, according to our equation K.E ∝$\frac{1}{Intermolecular Forces of attraction}$ , solids have greater Forces of attraction. And that is very true because by virtue of the greater amount of forces of attraction the particles keep and hold themselves together and form a rigid structure.

If you consider matter as a student ...

Gases have the greatest K.E (coz they like getting all around), liquids have less K.E than gases but greater than solids (calm and composed) and solids have the least K.E (the best student in the whole world).

So finally our answer is :-

The substances in increasing order of Kinetic Energy are

Salt, Orange Juice and Air
