How do particle motion and temperature change as a material absorbs heat?

Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas substance, as a good example. Hence, when temperature rises, the molecules move faster, they hit the walls of containers more (hence raising pressure), which may increase the volume (depending on the container - eg. plastic container vs a balloon). If the volume is not able to be increased, the pressure remains at that level.
PV=nRT
P=pressure
V=volume
n=number of moles
R=a constant
T=temperature
With the above equation, you can see that by decreasing T, either/both of pressure and/or volume must change so that the left side of the equation equals the right.

What will an alpha particle change into when it absorbs two electrons?
When it captures (not absorbs) electrons and becomes neutral the alpha particle becomes a helium atom.
When a substance loses or absorbs energy its temperature can change true or false?
Very true.
What is a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
Why do material change size when they change temperature?
The cause is the thermal expansion of materials.
What does change when the state of matter changes?
Matter changing state is usually a result of the material changing temperature and/or a change in the surrounded pressure on the material. The change of state is usually associated with a change in its density.
What will an alpha particle change into when it absorbs two electrons?
When it captures (not absorbs) electrons and becomes neutral the alpha particle becomes a helium atom.
What particle property changes with change in temperature?
A change in temperature leads to a change in the kinetic energy of the atoms in the particle.
What will an alpha particle change into when it absorbs one electron?
it changes to single ionized helium ion
Calculate the specific heat of a substance if 44.0 g of the sample absorbs 67.2 J and the temperature change is 11 K?
Determine the specific heat of a material if a 32 g sample of the material absorbs 58 J as it is heated from 298 K to 313 K?
What absorbs and radiates energy with the least amount of temperature change?
Neutronium
What is the highest temperature a particle could reach?
a few degrees before the particle become energy. it could change, dependent on the resistance of the particle for heatness.
When a substance loses or absorbs energy its temperature can change true or false?
Very true.
In a graph showing temperature change of a material over time temperature change is the .?
dependent variable
What is an amount of water whose temperature would change by 15 degrees Celsius when it absorbs 2646 joules of heat energy?
The amount of water whose temperature would change by 15 degrees Celsius when it absorbs 2646 joules of heat energy is 42,2g H2O.
What is a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
Is there a change in temperature when ammonium chloride is added to water and being stirred?
It is an Endothermic reaction i.e. it absorbs heat from the surroundings.Thus , Temperature drops
Why do material change size when they change temperature?
The cause is the thermal expansion of materials.
