Which statement describes how phase changes can be diagrammed as a substance is heated? the phase is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the phase is on the x-axis. the time is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis.

Which statement describes how phase changes can be diagrammed as a substance is heated?

D. The temperature is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis.

Which statement describes the appearance of a temperature-vs.-time graph?

C. Horizontal lines where the temperature is constant during phase changes connect upward-sloping lines where the temperature increases.

D. The temperature is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis.

Explanation:

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

it's all four options.
