The particles need to come in contact for the reaction to take place, normally. If the particles move at faster rate, they are more likely to come in contact with each other. That makes the reaction to take place faster.

If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?

the hotter it is, the faster they are moving


What happens to the speeds of the particles when thermal conduction is occurring within a solid?

During thermal conduction in a solid, kinetic energy is transferred from faster-moving particles to slower-moving particles. This leads to an overall increase in the speed of slower particles and a decrease in the speed of faster particles, resulting in a more uniform distribution of particle speeds.


When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?

It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.


What measures how fast air particles are moving?

Temperature measures how fast air particles are moving. Higher temperatures mean faster-moving particles, while lower temperatures mean slower-moving particles.


Why does blowing on soup make it cool off faster?

The steam you see coming off a hot bowl of soup are the hotter, faster moving particles evaporating into the air, leaving slower-moving, cool particles behind. But these evaporated particles form a little cloud of vapor above the soup, which prevents the other hot particles from evaporating. When you blow on your soup, you blow away the vapor. This allows more of the faster moving particles to evaporate.

Does Temperature increases or decrease when particles are moving faster on average?

Temperature increases when particles are moving faster on average. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. As particles move faster, they have higher kinetic energy, leading to an increase in temperature.

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.


How does temperature affect rate of reaction?

The higher temperature will cause the particles to move faster and to increase the number and strength of the collisions. So, a lower temperature will slow the speed at which the particles move and decrease the number and strength of the collisions. To add to the answer above, higher temperature gives off more energy (kinetic) to the particles. More energy allows the particle to collide with other particles with more energy. And they will collide much faster, which will eventually break the bond between them.


Will increasing the temperature cause an increase in the rate of a reaction?

increased temperture causes rate or reaction to increase.
