Thermodynamic temperature (absolute temperature) is proportional to the average

kinetic energy of particles in "gases". An increase in temperature will increase the

average kinetic energy of the particles of the gas and at the same time the particle's

kinetic energy distribution gets broader.

If pressure of the gas is kept constant, the gas expands (increases its volume).

If the volume of the gas is kept constant, the gas pressure increases.

When temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particlles decreases true or false?

No. In gases, 'Absolute temperature' is proportionally related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Therefore, increase in temperature results in increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.


What is the effect of temperature at the rate of diffusion?

the collision theoryFaster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy). So the molecules move faster and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs quicker.


How is temperature related to kinetic energy?

They are not related. Kinetic Energy has to do with the speed or how fast something is going. Temperature has to do with how hot or cold something is. Maybe you are thinking of THERMAL ENERGY. That has to do with heat.When the temperature increase, that substances will tend to vibrate and then at a certain high temperature will start to move;that is why we say it gain energy.Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.


What are the 3 factors that can change the rate of enzyme reaction?

The first factor is Enzyme concentration or subtrate concentration.The rate of enzyme action is directly proportional to to the availability of enzyme provided the substrate concentration unlimited.Or the rate is directly proportional to the substrate concentration if enzymes are limited but if enzyme concentration is kept constant then upto the certain level the increase in substrate amount will no longer increase the rate of enzyme action. Second factor is temperature.The rate if an enzyme action is always directly proportional to the increase in temperature but upto the specific limit called as optimum temperature. Third factor is the pH value.Enzymes can work efficiently over a narrow range of pH called as Optimum pH.A minor change in pH value can denature the enzyme.


How does a substance 's temperature change when the average kinetic energy of it's particle increases?

As the average kinetic energy of a substance increases, the temperature will increase.

Why is density inversely proportional to temperature?

Density is inversely proportional to volume. If the same amount of stuff takes up a larger volume, it will have a lower density. 1 kg of air is slightly below one cubic meter, but 1 kg of water is about the size of your milk carton. As the temperature of an object increases, it's volume increases. This means that temperature is directly proportional to volume. Since temperature is directly proportional to volume, and volume is inversely proportional to density, thus density is inversely proportional to temperature. In the physical sense, you can visualize temperature as the energy (spacing) between particles and density as how much particles you can put in a box. As temperature goes up, the spacing of particles increase. Therefore, you cant put so much particles into the same sized box.


When the temperature of a substance decreases increases what happens?

The temperature of a substance increases as the mean random kinetic energy of its particles increases. This is because temperature of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of its particles. Thus when the particles move faster as a whole, such as when the object is put near a flame, the object heats up.


How do particles of matter react to an increase of temperature?

When there is an increase in an object or medium's temperature, its particles have increase kinetic energy. Temperature is the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy within an object or medium.


What happens to the temperature increase the number of particles what happens to the pressure?

Increasing the temperature the number of particles remain constant and the pressure increase.


When pressure increases does temperature increase?

In a closed system the pressure and temperature are direct proportional.


How does the vibration of particles change as the temperature moves between freezing and boiling?

The vibration of particles increase with the temperature.


Does increasing the temperature increase or decrease the speed of diffusion?

Increasing the temperature will increase the speed. Remember Dalton's theory: Particles at a higher temperature tend to move faster on average than particles at a lower temperature.


Could the temperature of a material increases the average of its particles also increase?

If the temperature of a material increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles will increase.


How does the speed of atoms in a substance related to its temperature?

If there is an increase in the temperature of a substance, that indicates the increase in vibration and speed of the particles. If there is a decrease in the temperature of a substance, that indicates the decrease in vibration and speed of the particles.


Does co2 expand when subjected extreme heat?

Volume is proportional to temperature, so if there is any increase in temperature, the volume of the gas will increase proportionally


What the increasing temperature doas to the particles and how this affects the number of collisions?

Increase in temperature cause the particles to move faster, which in turn would increase the number of collisions. If the volume did not change and the temperature increased, the pressure would also increase.


How is the temperature of gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?

As the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of the particles will also increase.
