The rising of hot air over a radiator is a physical process. It is due to the difference in temperature between the heated air near the radiator and the cooler air in the surrounding environment. As the air near the radiator becomes warmer, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise and be replaced by cooler air. This process, known as convection, is a form of heat transfer.

Bread dough rises when yeast is added physical or chemical?

It IS chemical, but it's not a heat reaction. It's respiration. Yeast is a living organism, which consumes sugar and excretes CO2 and alcohol. - - - - - chemical, because its reacting with heat & that always means chemical. it just includes a physical change..


Is extraction a physical or chemical change?

No. A physical change is a change that does not change the chemical composition of a substance, while a chemical change does change the chemical composition of a substance.


How does convection help heat move?

ans: something hotter than surrounding air (radiator), has air surround that gets hot, and conduction, because gas molecules far away is very slow in air, so need another process to heat rest of air. Air surround radiator less dense after heating, therefore rises, creating space for more dense (colder air), which in turn contacts radiator, transfer heat, and rises, and process continues.


How does convection in the earth's mantle cause magma to rise?

it works like air and a radiator the heated air rises and cools then falls and the process is repeated again and again


Does the rate of chemical reactions slow as the temperature rises?

No. The speed of all chemical rections increases when temperature rises.

How can a thermometer be used to help you decide whether your observation is physical or chemical change?

Physical changes are usually very easily reversed. Chemical changes usually show signs of: -Heat being released -Light being released -Precipitate is formed -Color change

The wall above the radiator is often dirty with dust from floor How does the dust get there?

dont know really!!!! but i think the warm currents 'pick' the dust from the floor then as the hot air rises the dust rises too and eventually settles on top of your radiator.


Should the radiator fan come on when you cut the ac on?

Yes, when the a/c is used the engine works harder which rises the temp of the engine then turn the fans on to cool the radiator.
