What is a average measure of kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles such as the molecules in a gas or a liquid.
How does kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
What happens to the kinetic energy of a substance while undergoing a phase change?
It depends on what phase change they are undergoing. If it were going from a solid to a liquid, then the kinetic energy would be greater. Same as if it were going from a liquid to a gas. However, if it were going from a liquid to a solid (or a gas to a liquid), then the kinetic energy would decrease.
Does kinetic energy increase or decrease when a liquid changes to a gas?
the kinetic energy increases
Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of gas contained in a box?
Average Kinetic Energy is determined by the temperate of the gas. The higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.Total Kinetic Energy is the average kinetic energy multiplied by the mass - the number of gas molecules in the box.- DENNIS LAM
Does a gas have less energy then a liquid form?
no .Gas have more kinetic energy than it's liquid form.
What is the key defferenc between liquid and gas?
A gas has greater kinetic energy than a liquid.
What is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to according to the kinetic theory?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
According to the kinetic theory what is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
How does the average kinetic energy of a gas relate to its temperture?
The kinetic energy of a gas is the speed of motion of the gas molecules. The higher the speed of the molecules, the higher the kinetic energy and the higher the temperature.
Do molecules in a liquid have the same kinetic energy as a gas?
Less kinetic energy to move around so they stay liquid. With more energy they would be gases.
What is the measure of the average energy of motion of the particles in a substance?
Temperature is the measure of the average velocity of the particles of a material. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas. Thus, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases as the gas becomes warmer. Keep in mind, though, that the temperature of a substance is proportional to the amount of heat (thermal energy) that it is receiving or losing (except during a phase change, e.g. from liquid to gas), but it is not the same thing.
