When a substance is entering a phase change, the gain or loss of heat is a result of energy gained or lost in forming or breaking intermolecular interaction.
The constant temperatures occur when a substance is undergoing a phase transition. If heat is removed from a substance , such as in freezing and condensation , then the process is exothermic . In this instance , heat is decreasing the speed of the molecules causing then move slower.
Example : liquid to solid and gas to liquid .
These changes release heat to the surrounding.

A) occurs when water is evaporated.
Answer:
The lowest whole number mass ratio of nitrogen that combines with a given mass of oxygen is 1:1
Explanation:
In compound A, we have 14 g of nitrogen combine with 16 g of oxygen
In compound B, we have 14 g of nitrogen combine with 32 g of oxygen
Therefore, we have
A B
Ratio of molar masses 14:16 14:32
Mass of O that combine with 1 g of N 1.14 2.29
Dividing by the smallest mass ratio 1 2
Therefore the lowest whole number mass ratio at which oxygen and nitrogen can combine = 1:1.
I'm pretty sure it's D. Compounds
Salt water is an example of a solution, and a solution is a type of mixture, so by multiple choice logic none can be the right answer! Seriously though - mixture are combinations of two compounds that are physically combined but do not undergo a chemical reaction with one another to produce a new compound. For instance, when you dissolve salt in water, you don't produce any new products, and you can boil away the water to leave only the salt (a physical method of separation). You cannot separate a compound by physical means because by definition this would be a chemical reaction as you're breaking bonds.
