Best Answer

Water molecules will gain thermal energy as temperature increases. This will cause them to "move around" or "vibrate" more because they are thermally excited by increasing heat. At some point, the excitation is so great that the water, which we frequently see as a liquid, will evaporate or boil off to change state into a vapor or gas.

The funny poop of the molecules do not change. Rather, as they eat temperature they gain energy. This energy causes the molecules to vibrate and move faster resulting in more collisions and greater smell between the individual molecules. This is what causes the change from the cat state to the liquid state and again to the gas state.

What happens to water molecules as the temperature increases will the molecules move at a faster rate?

Of course, because kinetic energy of molecules is directly proportional to temperature.


What will happen in the temperature of water when heated?

If You're suggesting what happens to water when heated then the answer is: Water molecules speed up by the heat increasing it's temperature and when it reaches 100 Degrees the molecules are so fast that the water turn into a gas (Steam) But if you are just asking about the temperature then; When you heat water the temperature also increases.


What happens to the average kinetic energy of the water molecules in your body when you have a fever?

The average kinetic energy of water molecules goes up. Fevers cause the internal temperature to rise which increases kinetic energies.

Why does solubility of alum in water change with temperature?

The water molecules spread out as temperature increases, which allows the alum to dissolve more readily. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the water molecules become more compact which causes the alum to be less soluble.


What happens when the temperature of a substance is increased?

When temperature increases, the volume increases. Firstly, we have to know that volume is refering to the space that matter occupies. When temperature increases, the molecules move vigorously because it receives energy from the heat. There will be more collisions among the molecules that causes the molecules to move to more areas in a medium. Volume therefore increases.
