The average speed of gas molecules is typically given as the root mean squared velocity.
vrms = √(3RT/M)
R is the ideal gas constant (8.3145 J/mol*K), T is the Kelvin temperature, M is the mass of one mole of the gas in (kg/mol).
From the equation, you can see that a high temperature results in a high RMS velocity, as does a low molar mass.

How do molecules expand?
Air expands due to high temperature water. And nothing happens to the molecules. As they move faster usually from increased temperature, they become farther apart.
When something is hypotonic does it move fast?
Hypo and hypertonic have nothing to do with moving fast. They have to do with concentrations of solutes in solvents. The movement is probably molecules and that depends on temperature.
Why a liquid is less viscous at high temperature?
When the liquid is at high temperature, the molecules of liquid have more energy & spread further apart. This enables the molecules to move around much more in the liquid which makes it less viscous or fluid.
The process of heating an orc to a high temperature in the presence of air?
Heating an orc to a high temperature in the presence of air is a long process. It is when heat is transfer through atoms or molecules that move.
How fast do molecules of alcohol move?
The speed at which molecules of alcohol move can vary depending on factors such as temperature. However, on average, the molecules of alcohol move at speeds of around several hundred meters per second.
When molecules move fast what seems to rise?
The temperature increase.
How fast are molecules in the air moving?
Temperature has a big effect on how fast air molecules travel. Air molecules move faster in hot weather and they move slower in cold weather.

Is it true that a high temperature has particles that move quickly?
Not precisely. A temperature can't have particles. A substance which is at a high temperature has particles which are moving fast.

Hypo and hypertonic have nothing to do with moving fast. They have to do with concentrations of solutes in solvents. The movement is probably molecules and that depends on temperature.
Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?
As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.
What is the difference between the molecular motion of a solid at a high temperature and the same solid at a lower temperature?
In a solid at a high temperature, the molecules tend to move rapidly, and vice versa when cooled.
How are heat and Thermal energy related?
it is related because heat is temperature and temperature tells how fast molecules move and thermal energy is kinetic + potential energy
Does temperature changes?
The temperature of a body depends on the amount of movement of the molecules it is made of. When the molecules move about quicker the body heats up and the temperature rise. When the molecules move about less the temperature falls. Absolute zero temperature is when the molecules have stopped moving altogether.
Why a liquid is less viscous at high temperature?
When the liquid is at high temperature, the molecules of liquid have more energy & spread further apart. This enables the molecules to move around much more in the liquid which makes it less viscous or fluid.
Do molecules in sprite move fast or slow?
fast i think
