I believe you are describing endothermic and exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction is work done on the system by the surroundings. For example, gas engines- the cylinder does work on the gas/oxygen mix and in internally stores the energy until it is combusted, by means of a spark plug to form CO sub 2 and HOH (i.e. water). exothermic reactions, however, are those which are work done by the system on the surroundings. Any combustion reaction is an exothermic reaction.

What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?
The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.
Does hypertonic shrink?
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
What happen to air particles as they heat up and cool down?
Depends on the container of the "air particles" and what you mean by "what happens." If it is inside a container that can not expand, then the pressure increases. If it is inside a container that can expand (or is just atmospheric air) then the volume increases. (Pressure * Volume = n * R * change in temperature) On the atomic level, the atoms or molecules (depending on the gas) begin to move more quickly as their kinetic energy increases.
When vapor pressure equals atomospheric pressure what is the liquid?
The Liquid will turn into gas. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. If the liquid is open to the atmosphere (that is, not in a sealed vessel), it is not possible to sustain a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure, because the vapor will simply expand until its pressure equals that of the atmosphere.
A partially inflated balloon is released from the ground level and becomes larger as it rises in the atmosphere?
It is true that it will become larger as it risses in the atmosphere. This is because the pressure surrounding the balloon decreases, so the pressure inside the balloon wants to equalise with the outside pressure. This causes the balloon to expand as the inside air is trying to get out. That's why things get 'sucked out' of a plane if there if someone opens the door at 30,000 feet, the cabin pressure is trying to equalise by removing the objects and air inside it.
What happens if the pressure on a rock decreases but the temperature stays the same?
If the pressure on a rock decreases while the temperature remains the same, the rock may expand or crack due to the release of pressure. This can lead to fracturing or even disintegration of the rock as it adjusts to the lower pressure environment.
Can air expand?
Air expand on heating as heat in a gas is the random kinetic energy of the molecules. Pressure is the result of kinetic energy in one direction, so an increase in heat leads to an increase in pressure, which leads to expansion against the surroundings.
Weathering with pressure release?
Pressure release weathering occurs when overlying rocks are eroded, reducing the pressure on underlying rocks. This decrease in pressure can cause the rocks to expand and crack, leading to physical weathering processes like exfoliation or sheeting. The release of pressure allows the rocks to expand and break apart, resulting in the gradual breakdown of the rock material.
Why do gases expand in charles law?
the kinetic energy of constant pressure causes the gasses to expand. when they are heated, the molocules get bigger causing the gas to expand. if it gets hot enough, it will explode.
Explain what is meant by the energy of pressure?
The energy of pressure refers to the potential energy stored within a fluid due to its pressure. This energy is a form of mechanical energy possessed by the fluid and is capable of doing work when the fluid is allowed to expand or flow. Pressure can be converted into kinetic energy or work when the fluid is allowed to move or exert a force on its surroundings.
Why do explosives explode?
Explosives explode due to a rapid release of stored energy, often in the form of heat, light, sound, and pressure. This release of energy occurs when the chemical bonds within the explosive material are broken, causing the material to rapidly expand and generate a shock wave.
Is it possible for colon polyps to rupture during air travel due to air pressure?
No they can not. A polyp is a solid mass. It is not filled with gas and therefore will not expand in a low pressure environment.
What happens when you apply heat to a gas?
When heat is applied to a gas, its particles gain energy and move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. This causes the gas to expand and its pressure to increase. If enough heat is applied, the gas may change phase and become a plasma.
Occurrence of the balloon when taken out of ice bath?
When a balloon that was inflated in an ice bath is taken out into a warmer environment, the air inside the balloon will warm up and expand. This expansion increases the pressure inside the balloon, causing it to expand and possibly burst if the pressure becomes too high. This is because gases expand when heated and contract when cooled.
The process of burning gas in a car engine to release what kind of energy?
Initially thermal energy which then causes the gases in the cylinders to expand and produce mechanical energy
Will a bag of sealed Air explode in a low or no pressure environment?
That would surely depend on the amount of air, as well as the strenght and flexibility of the bag.
Why gasses expand when heated?
Conservatiojn of Energy is the reason gases expand when heatd. Gas energy is PV= RT, when Temperature T increases then RdT = PdV + VdP if the pressure is constant the dP=0 then RdT= PdV meaning the gas expands.
