yes.

This is a question that deserves a more complex answer then just "yes". At point the liquid turns into vapors (process of liquid to gas), then yes the temperature of the gas is more then the liquid, however, this will only stay true for a fraction of time. For instance, when boiling water, the split second water goes to a gas the gas is hotter as the Hydrogen and Oxygen seperate. Hydrogen and Oxygen will bond with other things such as Nitrogen and Carbon in the atmosphere, once the bond is made that gas becomes cooler then the actual water -- This transition takes place with boiling water, which is why you see steam, or the opposite gas to liquid water is why it rains/snows. When boiling water, the steam is more then 212 F, however the gases cool to room temp as it expands (if this didnt happen the air in your kitchen would be a VERY hot 212+ F degrees)

Is gas hotter then liquids?

For a given substance, yes, it's gaseous form is hotter than its liquid form. However, you cannot say that a gas, of any substance, is generally hotter than a liquid of some other substance. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point for Nitrogen, for example, is well below the boiling point of water, and even below the freezing point of water. So you cannot say that Nitrogen gas is hotter than liquid water.

Why diffusion occurs more quickly in a gas than in a liquid?

Diffusion in gases is faster than in liquids because the particles in gas move way faster than in liquids. The gas particles therefore spread out more quickly and diffusion is completed faster.


Will a liquid sink when its hotter than the liquid around it?

No, usually it will rise, since the density of most liquids will decrease as it is heated up.
