What is the transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter called?
"conduction"
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
Why when a drop of wax from a burning candle falls on your hand do you feel heat?
Heat is transferred to your hand by conduction. The particles of the wax are moving faster than the particles in your skin and energy is transferred by collisions between the two sets of particles.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
What transfers heat energy between particles as they collide within a substance or between two objects in contact?
You seem to have answered your own question-it is the collisions that transfer energy
Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the?
rate of collisions between particles. average velocity of the particles.
What does the kinetic theory say in general about gas particles?
According to the kinetic theory, the particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume, and all the collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic.
If collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls were not elastic collisions what would happen to a gas?
This is not an ideal gas and gas laws are are only approximately applicable.
Gas pressure is caused by collisions between?
particles. are you dumb?
According to collision theory increasing the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction increases?
A.the rate of collisions between two particles.
What is the transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter called?
"conduction"
The transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter means what?
friction
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
In what process is heat transferred through matter by collisions between particles?
conduction
What causes pressure in a closed in container of gas?
collisions between the particles of gas and the container walls
What causes pressure in closed container of gas?
collisions between the particles of gas and the container walls
What explains the motion of micro particles?
Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.
