they gain kinetic energy and the molecules move faster.

They move faster. Eventually they gain enough energy to escape from each other and they move off into the gas phase, that is the liquid boils.

Does temperature affect molecules and atoms?

Yes Temperature does effect the movement of molecules and atoms. This is because the warmer the temperature is the easier the molecules and atoms can move, while on the contrary, the colder the temperature is the more difficult it is for the molecules and atoms move around


What is the effect of the temperature on the vapour pressure?

When temperature is increased the amount of molecules evaporated is increasef and as a consequence condensation is also increased so vapour pressure increases.


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 does temperature variation effect volumetric measurements?

When temperature increase the volume also increase; but if you think to volumetric titrations the effect is without importance.

What does the greenhouse effect cause an increase in?

It causes an increase in the Earth's temperature.


What effect would lowering the temperature to absolute zero have on the Brownian motion?

All matter has kinetic energy unless it is at absolute zero (-273degrees C). At this temperature this means that there is no movement of molecules which means there is no brownian motion.


What is an effect in increase in ocean temperature?

Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?

surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature


How do you think temperature will effect transpiration in a plant?

Increase in temperature also increases the rate of evaporation of water, hence temperature will effect transpiration

What effect does raising the temperature have on the speed of reaction for the forward reaction and why?

In general, but not always, increasing the temperature will increase the rate of the forward reaction. This is because an increase in temperature increases the speed at which the molecules move, increasing the kinetic energy, and thus making it easier to reach the activation energy. Of course, this is true only for endothermic reactions. If the reaction is exothermic, then increasing the temperature will slow down the forward reaction.
