Why does washing dry quicker in warm weather?

The particles of a gas are continually moving. They bump into each other and the walls of the container. It is the constant battering of the walls by the gas particles that we call pressure, high=warm low=cold. When the gas particles move round quickly more friction is made, this is at high pressure, so the air becomes warm. vise versa for cold. So washing dries more quickly in warmer weather because the heat evaporates the dampness form the clothes. Manchester, 14 yr Girl.


Why does stirring increase the speed of solute dissolving in water?

Apex - It makes the water molecules bump into the solute more. ^.^


Why does ice turn into ice in cold weather?

because the cold slows down the particles in water until they bump&stick together. they still move by vibrating.


Does wire expand when heated?

yes wires do because when the wires are heated the particles inside the wires change speed and move faster. this causes them to bump into one another and expand!


Increasing the concentration of a substrate substance slows down the rate of reaction?

No, if you increase the concentration of a substance there is a more likely chance of particle collisions occurring. Meaning the higher the concentration the faster the rate of reaction. Imagine people walking around in an empty room, the more people there are in the room, the more likely it is that they will begin to bump into each other, it's the same with particles. The bumping into each other (or collisions) is what will increase the rate of reaction. Conversely if you lower the concentration, there is a lot less chance that the tiny particles will collide with one another meaning the rate of reaction will decrease. Hope this Helps!

What are two conditions that determine the mass of solute that will dissolve in a given mass of solvent?

The temperature: Increasing temperature makes the particles move faster. Heat energy is transferred by the movement of the particles. Because the solvent particles are moving faster, they bump into the solute.Stirring: Moves all the particles around do the solvent particles bump into the solute particles.

What increases the reaction rate by increasing particle speed?

An increase in temperature will increase the speed of the particles and cause the particles to both bump into one another more frequently and with more energy thus increasing the reaction rate.


Why does Distortion create heat?

When you distort something, the particles bump into each other more often, creating heat.


How do waves get their energy?

What causes gas to have pressure?

The number and vibration of the molecules that make up the gas cause the pressure.


How do gas particles exert pressure on their container?

'This is because the air particles are bumpinginto each other and the walls. When this happens it causes pressure on the walls because of the speed the air particles are moving


When energy is supplied to a solid what happens to particles within it?

At particle level in a solid, the energy is only ever kinetic. More energy means the particles move more rapidly. This means they bump against each other more. If they bump against each other rapidly enough, they will begin to separate and the solid will melt.
