Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?
To increase.
What is the measure of the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
What would increase a temperature of a substance?
When a substance is heated the temperature is increased. This occurs because energy enters the substance which will increase the kinetic energy of the molecules,thus causing a rise in temperature.
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
What is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance?
temperature is the average kinetic energy of a particle
Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?
To increase.
Is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another when the substances differ in temperature?
Yes, it is.
How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of it's particles increases?
As the average kinetic energy of a substance increases, the temperature will increase.
How is thermal energy of a substances related to its physical state?
The thermal energy of a substance determines its state, since thermal energy, aka internal energy, is the energy the molecules in the substance have. If the energy exceeds the force holding the substance together the substance undergoes a phase change.The physical state of a substance is related to its temperature, the measure of thermal energy. The substance can change states depending on the temperature, e.g. boiling.
When equal amounts of energy are transferred to or from equal masses of different substance the substance will undergo different changes in temperature because of their different?
substances
What substances make up temperature?
None. Temperature is a term/concept that affects any substance and any atom. Temperature describes the kinetic energy (dependend on their speed) that the atoms your substance is made of have. Dependend on your substance you need different amount of heat energy to change the temperature. This property is called heat capacity.
How is the temperature of a substance related to the energy of movement of the particles in a substances?
It is hard to exactly define temperature in terms of such things - but roughly speaking, the temperature is the average kinetic energy (energy of movement) per particle, per degree of freedom.
What is the relation between a rise in temperature and kinetic energy?
Temperature is an expression of the vibration of the atoms or molecules from which substances are made. The more the vibration the hotter the substance. As the energy of movement (vibration is movement) is Kinetic energy, heat/temperature is also a form of Kinetic energy.
What is the measure of kinetic energy of a substances molecules?
temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substances molecules, though energy is in joules and temperature is in Kelvin.
Where is a substances chemical energy stored?
chemical energy a substance has
What is the measure of the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
What substance attracts and holds the most energy?
Any substance can absorb any amount of energy, unless it is vaporized or turned to plasma. Heat is thermal energy transferred to the molecules of a substance. Some substances, such as metals, require higher energy to reach a given temperature (specific heat) than do other substances.
