Particles move at a faster rate at higher temperatures, than they do at lower temperatures. This is do to the fact that heat is a form of energy. When a particle has more energy is moves faster.

Why cycle tubes filled with air burst in summer?

The tires are filled with air particles, whose behaviour is governed by what is known as the kinetic molecular theory. In simple terms, during the summer where temperatures are (assumingly) higher, the air particles have more energy (high temp. = higher average kinetic energy). With higher energy, they are moving about inside the tire with higher speed and collisions are more forceful (and common). Thus, these particles tend to occupy more space, and so the tire is forced to expand, eventually bursting.


A physical property that tells you how hot or cold matter is?

The physical property that tells you how hot or cold matter is, we call temperature. Temperature consists of random motion on the atomic or molecular scale. Faster moving particles have higher temperatures.


Decreasing the temperature of a reaction decreases?

According to collision theory, decreasing the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction decreases the frequency of the collisions between reactants, and therefore decreases the rate of the reaction.


Is it true that a low concentration of a chemical slows reaction rate?

I would point your studies towards collision theory. It's not that a low concentration necessarily slows down a reaction, but that a low concentration will have a slower reaction rate than a higher concentration of reactants. A lower concentration means a lower number of reactants in solution, meaning it is less likely for the reactants to collide and create products. With a lot of reactants, it is much more likely for collisions to occur.


In general what true about places at higher altitudes?

They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.

Do particles in matter move more quickly at lower temperatures or higher temperatures?

Particles in matter move more slowly at lower temperatures because they have less thermal energy. Conversely, particles move more quickly at higher temperatures due to the increased thermal energy they possess.

Will higher temperatures cause more collisions?

Higher temperatures can increase the kinetic energy of particles, leading to more frequent collisions between them. This is because particles move faster and with greater force at higher temperatures, increasing the chances of collision.


What is the effect of varying the concentrations of each of the reactants?

reaction rate depends upon three things: temperature (higher temperature means faster reactions), particle size (smaller particles leading to an increase in surface area means faster reactions) and concentration of reactants (the higher the concentration, the higher the chance for particle collisions). Rate of reaction is based upon particle collisions. Higher temperatures yield more and stronger collisions, hence there is higher rate of reaction. Smaller particles (giving more surface area) means more collisions (reactants are not "stuck" on the inside of clumps of substances, waiting to collide when the outer particles get out of the way). Higher concentrations let more particles find each other to react; time is not wasted by substances floating around not having a chance to collide with other substances.


What measures how fast air particles are moving?

Temperature measures how fast air particles are moving. Higher temperatures mean faster-moving particles, while lower temperatures mean slower-moving particles.


At higher temperatures what do particels do?

As the temperature of a substance increases, its particles move faster.


What is the average speed of the particles of a substance?

The average speed of particles in a substance is determined by the temperature of the substance. At higher temperatures, particles move faster, while at lower temperatures, particles move slower. This average speed is related to the kinetic energy of the particles.


What 4 things can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

Concentrations of reactants; concentrations of products; changes in temperature (usually higher temperatures favor faster reactions); catalyst; for some reactions, incident light; and, for reactions with a volume change, changes in pressure.


How do particles move at higher temperatures compared to how they move at lower temperatures?

particles move faster, such as when you are hot and you want to get away from everyone. lower tempertures move slowly and gather up into groups, as if u were cold and you would want a group hug to get warmer, also you move slower because it is cold.


How are the concentration of the reactants and reaction rate related?

rate laws a+the higher the concentration = more particles = higher chance of a collision happening = higher/faster reaction rate


Why do the particles travel faster in a wave at a higher temperature?

Particles move faster at higher temperatures because increased thermal energy results in greater kinetic energy. This higher kinetic energy causes the particles to vibrate or move more quickly, leading to faster propagation of the wave.


How do air particles behave when under pressure?

When air particles are under pressure, they are pushed closer together, increasing their density. This results in an increase in the number of collisions between particles, creating higher pressure within the system. If the pressure is released, the particles will spread out to lower the density and pressure back to equilibrium.
