Since temperature is related to air pressure. As the sun heats the ground or ocean, warning them, the air near the ground or ocean warms and becomes less dense. As this happens the air begins rising, which lowers the air pressure at the Earth's surface. In detecting atmospheric pressure, a barometer measures the weight of the column of air that stretches directly above it from the Earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere. If air pressure goes up, this means that more air molecules are moving into that column of the atmosphere than are leaving it. Essentially, this "piling on" of air molecules increases air density, makes the column of air heavier and causes it to sink resulting in higher atmospheric pressure. Cold air entering a region would cause pressure to rise.

What happens to the speed of gas when heated?

The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.


What happens to gas particles when a gas is heated?

When a gas is heated, the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases. This causes the particles to move faster and farther apart, leading to an increase in pressure and volume. Heating a gas also increases the average speed of the gas particles.


How does that speed of the particles of a gas change when the gas is heated?

When gas is heated then its molecule get energy and start to move faster.


What is the word Transfer of thermal energy when particles in a heated fluid rise?

Convection.


When heated bubbles rise to surface?

bubbles rise to the surface of a heated liquid as it changes to gas because they are less dense than the liquid.


When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?

When a gas sample is heated, the particles move faster and collide more frequently with each other and the walls of the container. This increased movement and collisions lead to an increase in the pressure and volume of the gas.


What happens to the motion of particles in a gas as the gas is heated?

When a gas is heated, the particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently with each other and the container walls. This increased motion leads to an increase in pressure and volume of the gas.


What happens to the particles ina gas went they are heated?

The particles start moving faster and the matter expands.


What happens to its density when a gas is heated?

When a gas is heated, its density decreases because the particles move faster and spread out, increasing the space between them. This results in a decrease in the number of gas particles per unit volume, leading to a lower density.


Do gas particles vibrate while they move?

Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated


Why does a gass expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When a gas is heated up, the particles within the gas start to move faster, going farther apart (expansion). When a gas is cooled, the particles slow down and it starts to condense (contract), and if cooled enough, into a liquid.


What happens to the particles in a liquid when it is heated?

They begin to vibrate more quickly when a liquid is heated, it will evaporate. ie. the liquid will turn to vapour (gas). if the vapour i s collected, it will turn back to the liquid again once it is cooled (condensation) muck love, kate
