A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground.

If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.

If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?

the hotter it is, the faster they are moving


Why does diffusion occur faster in hot water than in cold water?

This happens because the hotter a substance is, the faster its atoms or molecules are moving. They have more mobility and can get around faster.


Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?

This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.


What gets hotter as it cools down?

AnswerThe fireplace


When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?

No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.


Why does black coffee cool down quickest?

well the hypothesis tells us that black coffee is naturally hotter than white coffee but the actual answer to this question is that white coffee cools faster because milk has its own temperature and will definitely make a difference.

coke it has less sodium and sugar then other sodas an when it has less it cools faster


Why do certain smells spread through the air faster than others?

Well, it depends on the heat of the air and how much air there is. Smells spread though the air during the process of diffusion, which happens faster if the air is hotter(the particles of the air will move faster if hotter and therefore the substance will diffuse quicker). Also they will spread faster if there is more air, which means more particles being able to diffuse the substance. I hope that this helps. As you can see, I an an a* student in chemistry!
