more KE==> higher temp and for the same volume ==> higher pressure.

How do enzymes function speeding up in a chemical reaction?
Enzymes lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Since more molecules have sufficient energy to react, the reaction occurs faster.
Movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration with energy is called?
Active Transport.
How do enzymes help accelerate reactions?
Chemical reactions involve collisions between molecules. most collisions don't have either the right orientation or enough energy for the reaction to proceed. the molecules just bounce off each other, unchanged. incidentally that is why reactions proceed faster as the temperature increases - high temperature means molecules are moving faster and are more likely to have the required energy to react.Enzymes are protein catalysts that force reactant molecules into the correct orientation and lower the required energy for a collision to produce a reaction.
How can kinetic energy change into potential energy?
Yes, kinetic energy can change into potential energy. in order to do so the delta x would have to increase. for example if a skier were to go off a large jump, they would be using their kinetic energy to gain altitude and that would be increasing the potential energy, hope this helps, not being able to do so would be completely illogical
Is kinetic energy lower in larger molecules?
Yes.
Why nitrogen diffuses faster in high temperature?
Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.
Why the kinetic energy of the molecules falls during cooling?
The molecules with a higher kinetic energy overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction and break away from the surface of the liquid and escape into the atmosphere as vapor. The molecules that remain will therefore have a lower kinetic energy and will, logically, have a lower temperature.
What is an example of energy flow?
Tide = Flow of kinetic energy from higher ground to lower ground Wind = Flow of kinetic energy from higher pressure to lower pressure Electricity = Flow of electrical energy (transfer of kinetic energy) from higher voltage to ground or low voltage.
Does the temperature of a liquid change due to evaporation?
Yes, it decreases. This is because the molecules of the liquid which have higher kinetic energy escape from the liquid, leaving the liquid with molecules having lower kinetic energy. The temperature of any substance is proportional to the kinetic energy of its molecules.

When there is more kinetic energy what happens to the thermal energy and temperature?
Molecules with a high temperature typically have a greater kinetic energy when compared to those with a lower temperature
Temperature is the what of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance?
The average energy is increased by heating.
Does a liquid has a low or high kinetic energy?
it really depends. For example, and ice cube has low kinetic where as steam has high kinetic energy
According the the kinetic-molecular theory what change in temperature is occurring if the particles of a gas begin to move more slowly?
What happens when the particles in an object begin to move slowly? its temperature decrease...A reduction in temperature. The faster the molecules move, the higher the average kinetic energy. The slower the molecules move, the lower the average kinetic energy. Lower kinetic energy = lower heat.
Temperature is relative to the energy of the molecules?
Increasing temperature will increase molecular speed.An object with less massive molecules will have higher molecular speed at the same temperature.When kinetic temperature applies, two objects with the same average translational kinetic energy will have the same temperature. An important idea related to temperature is the fact that a collision between a molecule with high kinetic energy and one with low kinetic energy will transfer energy to the molecule of lower kinetic energy.
When potential energy turns into kinetic do the air molecules expand?
Molecules of air are mainly nitrogen and oxygen, N2 and O2. The '2' subscript means each molecule contains two atoms. The molecules themselves do not change with changes in energy, pressure, temperature etc. I'm not sure what you mean by potential energy turning into kinetic energy. I can visualise one route, where you have air pressurised in a container, then you release the pressure and the air rushes out, gaining kinetic energy. In this case the molecules of air will soon collide with the air that they are going into and be slowed down until mixed and at the same pressure and temperature. The density of the air will be lower than it was in the pressurised container. This means not so many molecules in a unit volume, so their mean distance apart will be greater. If that is what you mean by 'expand' then I agree, but the molecules themselves are not altered.
