If you increase the temperature of a gas what happens to the movement of the molecules?
Their average kinetic energy, and hence their speed, increases.
What happens when air is compressed?
When air particles are compressed, the density is increased. There is more pressure within a region or within a container. There are more molecules in a given volume, and this can cause the air to heat up. - The pressure of the air increases, as does its temperature, as its volume decreases.
What happens when the temperature of a gas increased?
If you increase the temperature of a gas, its particles (atoms or molecules) will speed up. If it is in a closed container, the pressure will also increase.
What happens to the speed of the particles if temperature incressed?
A particle may travel at a faster speed or its component atoms or molecules may vibrate more vigorously.
How absolute temperature has been achieved?
Absolute zero has not been achieved, temperature is simply proportional to the speed of the molecules, and absolute zero is the temperature that corresponds to a molecule that is not moving at all. While it happens all the time instantanously, we cannot get groups of molecules to stop moving altogether. We have gotten molecules extremely close to that speed using magnets to pull energy from molecules.
When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?
Slow down and the temperature drops.
Average speed of air molecules?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
The average speed of the molecules of a gas is proportional to the?
Temperature.
An indirect measurement of the speed of molecules is?
The temperature.
Temperature is an indirect measurement of?
The speed of molecules.
An indirect measurement of the speed of molecules is made with a?
An indirect measurement of the speed of molecules is made with a thermometer.
How are the speeds of molecules of air affected when the air is compressed by the action of a tire pump?
When air is pumped into a tire at great speed, there is an increase in the temperature of the air. This is because the fast compressions cause the air molecules to move, whereas they remain still during a slow compression.
