Answer:
D: The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are more cohesive in the liquid state than in the solid state.
Explanation:
If we assume that there is no phase change due to heating, we know that the temperature change will be proportional to the mass heated, being the proportionality constant that is a quantity which depends on the material, and also represents the resistance of the material to cause a change in the temperature and is called specific heat.
Now, if we are to assume that the mass is the same for the three phases, and that the amount of heat supplied is also the same, the phase with the highest specific heat will therefore possess the lowest temperature change.
At a lower temperature, the hydrogen bonds will be more cohesive than at higher temperatures.
We are told that in it's solid state, it has a specific heat capacity of 2.093 J/g°C while in its liquid state, it has a specific heat capacity of 4.186 J/g°C.
Thus, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the liquid state will be less cohesive than in its solid state.
