A temperature increase is an increase in the thermal energy of an atom. The energy must be used somehow, since energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred. The transferred energy has no where to go and thus makes the atom vibrate more, which is a known result when atoms absorb energy.

What causes something to have high temperature?

Temperature is a measure of energy and if the particles in a substance are vibrating quicker then it has more energy and gets hotter.


Why do iron particles rust more in coastal areas?

Salty air, high ratio of moisture and relatively low temperature causes iron to rust quicker.


What causes salt to dissolve more at one temperature and not as much at another temperature?

The particles in hot water move and knock into the salt particles quicker, making it dissolve faster


What happens to the motion of gas particles when temperature increases?

They start to move faster, therefore, the reaction will happen quicker. This is because there is more chance of a collision between the particles.


Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?

This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.


Why does magnesium dissolve quicker in hot water?

Magnesium dissolves quicker in hot water because the increased temperature provides more energy for the magnesium particles to break apart and interact with the water molecules. This higher energy level causes the magnesium ions to separate from the solid metal more easily, leading to faster dissolution.


Why do some particles diffuse quicker than others?

Particles diffuse at different rates due to differences in their size, shape, and mass. Smaller, lighter particles diffuse quicker than larger, heavier particles because they can move more easily through the medium in which they are diffusing. Additionally, the temperature and concentration gradient of the medium can also affect the diffusion rate of particles.


Are the paricles in gasses quicker than the ones in liquid?

Only if they are at the same relative temperature. Particles of liquid helium travel much more slowly than a room temperature gas.


What does an object with a high temperature have more than an object with a lower temperature?

An object with a high temperature has more thermal energy than an object with a lower temperature. This means that the particles in the object with higher temperature are vibrating and moving more vigorously compared to those in the object with lower temperature.


Labs on temperature temperature affacting rate of photosynthesis?

Generally, it comes down to the basic laws of chemistry. As the temperature increases, particles become more 'excited' and move quicker, therefore increasing the rate of photosynthesis. The opposite happens when temperature decreased, the particles move slower and therefore decreasing the rate of photosynthesis.


In what temperature does sugar dissolve faster?

Sugar dissolves faster in hot temperature compared to cold temperature. This is because heat increases the kinetic energy of molecules, making them move faster and collide more often with the sugar crystals, allowing for quicker dissolution.


What happens to the motion of gas particles when their temperature increases?

When the temperature of gas particles increases, their kinetic energy also increases. This leads to the gas particles moving faster and colliding more frequently with each other and with the walls of the container. Overall, the gas particles exhibit greater random motion at higher temperatures.
