Lets assume the molecules in the liquid have a certain kinetic energy: E = 0.5mv2
If the liquid is heated, more energy is given to the molecules so their kinetic energy is increased. If their kinetic energy is increased, and their mass remains constant, then their velocity must have also increased according to the above equation.
Answer: they move faster
Faster, because there are collisions between the particles in the warm air and the particles in the cold butter, and there is a transfer of energy from warm to cool. So as the butter particles become warmer they move faster.
One thing that complicates this is that some of the "molecules" of butter are water; up to about 15% in most commercial butter ("home-made" butter typically has an even higher water content).
The butterfat molecules are significantly more massive than water (exactly how much varies, since "butterfat" refers to any of a number of compounds, but molecular weights of around 800 aren't at all unreasonable; for comparison, the molecular mass of water is about 18). Since the average molecular speed at a given temperature depends on the square root of the molecular mass, the heavier butterfat molecules move slower than water molecules at the same temperature (by a factor of roughly 6-7).
Faster because as the butter changes from a solid to a liquid its particles move faster.
Yes because particles in liquids have more space to move freely while a solid's particles are compacted into a tight space and scarcely move.
Faster
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Under a flame, lead melts faster than ice.
Heat is atoms and molecules moving so they start moving.
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
It increases the molecular energy of the substance, the molecules of a liquid move faster than those of a solid at the same temperature.
Ice melts slower
When ice cream melts, the particles actually move faster, not slower, then when it is unmelted.
No it melts slower
closer it is to base down the slower it melts, closer it is to base up the faster it melts.
they move faster
When a substance melts, the molecules move more freely and when it freezes, they move more slowly. When a substance boils and becomes a vapor (gas), the molecules again move faster than when in the liquid state, and when the vapor condenses, the molecules move slower.
It's because sherbert ice cream is more of a water base (juice) which melts faster. Dairy base ice cream are usually made from egg yolk, cream, milk, and sugar. Yolks, cream, and milk have high fat content which makes them melt slower than water base ice cream which melts faster.
Butter melts faster than ice because fats in the butter require less energy to move up a degree when compared to ice
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
When the peanut butter melts on your cat it causes a chain reaction of molecules and thats why jakub jurski is fat.
What chocalate bar melts faster?
yes you can but it melts the butter
