Kinetic theory in chemistry describes the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure; if you increase temperature, the pressure or volume will increase, if you decrease volume or increase pressure, temperature will increase. The theory examines the nature of an elastic gas with atoms or molecules moving around within a container colliding with each other and with the walls of the container; temperature is a measure of the collective average random kinetic energy, expressed both in mass and speed (rotation, translation, and vibration). It describes that as you compress the substance (decrease the volume), the density of its component molecules increases and the frequency with which they collide with the walls increases, hence the temperature (and/or pressure) goes up.

What compound increase in solubility as temperature increase?
The vast majority of compounds increase in solubility as the temperature increases.
Do volcanic eruption increase or decrease the temperature of the earth?
increase
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
How industries increase the temperature?
The temperature of what? What industries?
What should be the temperature and humidity for the tablet compression?
20 to 30 C.
When a volume of air is compressed its temperature does it increase or decrease or neither?
There is a thing called the "heat of compression" which causes all compressed substances to increase in temperature.
What is the effect of compression on carbon dioxide?
Mainly that its density will increase. Its temperature will also increase yet this 'extra' heat will dissipate, or disperse.
What are the condition for ideal fluid?
1.Isothermal expansion at a high temperature AB 2.Adiabatic expansion as the temperature falls to a lower rule BC 3.Isothermal compression at lower temperature CD 4.Adiabatic compression as temperature increase to initial high volume DA
What happens to a substance when the pressure goes up?
The substance will be compressed (increase in density) and if the compression is adiabatic, the temperature will go up since there is work being done on the system.
How does volume affect temperature?
Normally there is no affect. In a gas, a CHANGE of volume of a single body, will give a change in temperature. If a gas is compressed the temperature will increase. If a gas is allowed to expand, there will be a reduction in temperature. This principle is used in diesel engines, to ignite the fuel by compression and fridges, where an expansion of gas causes cooling.
What happens the density of a gas as it is compressed?
The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in thermal energy when the gas is compressed. The kinetic energy of those atoms or molecules will increase as they are forced closer together in compression, and the temperature of the gas will increase.
Why does temperature vary with height?
As temperature increase pressure will increase
Why are metamorphic rocksformed by contact metamorphism usually not as dense as those formed by regional metamorphism?
Because contact metamorphism usually occurs because of an increase in temperature. In contrary, regional metamorphism is usually the result of compression. Compression makes a rock more dense.
How does compressing a gas affect volume?
Compressing a gas means increasing the pressure on the gas and according to Boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a given amount of a gas(at constant temperature) . Therefore increasing the pressure (compression) of the gas reduces the volume of the gas.
What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel?
compression
What compound increase in solubility as temperature increase?
The vast majority of compounds increase in solubility as the temperature increases.
What does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase?
As temperature increase the speed and energy of molecules increase and the collisions are more probable.
