Molecules move faster when hot water then in cold. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms. Molecules move faster in hot water because the heat is giving the molecules more energy. Molecules move slower in cold water because heat has/gives energy and when something is cold it has very little heat. So there is very little energy. So there is very little movement.

I have a science quiz tommorrow, and this was VERY helpful. :D

Do hot and cold water molecules move at the same speed?

Hot water molecules move a lot faster han cold water molecules because they have a higher kinetic energy due to the heat.


What are the differences in the way water molecules move in cold room temperature and in hot water?

In cold room temperature, water molecules move slower and are closer together due to lower kinetic energy. In hot water, molecules move faster and have more kinetic energy, causing them to spread out and move more freely. This difference in movement affects the density, viscosity, and behavior of water in each temperature condition.


What happened to the molecules of water if you add snow into it?

They will move slower because they will get cold.


How do you think molecules move in hot and in cold air?

In hot areas the molecules move quickly and in cold areas the molecules move slower.


Do molecules in water move slower in cold water?

Yes, the less heat there is present, the less heat, the slower the molecules will move. This is due to a lack of energy given from the heat.


Why does not sugar dissolve in cold milk?

Even in cold water sugar will dissolve eventually, but it does dissolve faster in hot water. Hot water molecules move faster than cold water molecules and therefore can more easily break sugar molecules out of solid sugar and into solution.


Why does the soot particles move faster in warm water than in cold water?

The water molecules in warm water have greater kinetic energy, making them move faster.


Why does die spread quiker in hot water to cold water?

When a dye is added to hot water, the molecules move faster and spread out quickly, allowing the dye to disperse more rapidly. In cold water, the molecules move slower, hindering the spread of the dye. The increased speed of molecules in hot water causes a quicker and more even distribution of the dye compared to cold water.


Why does cool water move slow?

Cool water moves slow because the molecules are moving slow. In hot water, molecules are moving fast, thus, hot water seems to move faster than cold water at times.


Why does salt dissolve faster in hot water rather than cold?

In hot water the water molecules are moving at a faster rate than they move in cold water. The faster moving molecules hit the salt molecules with greater force and knock them away from the other salt molecules faster. That way the salt molecules dissolve in the water quicker.


Why do raisins plump up more quickly in hot water than in cold water?

Raisins plump up more quickly in hot water because the molecules in hot water move quicker than molecules in cold water so the hot water molecules diffuse quicker into the raisin.
