"Temperature is a measure of the average energy of motion, of particles in matter. When particles of matter, whether in solids, liquids, gases, or elementary plasma's, move faster or have greater mass, they carry more kinetic energy, and the material appears warmer than a material with slower or less massive particles."

Simply put, temperature is the measure of the average speed of particles in motion in a gas.

The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?

The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.


What is meant by rms velocity?

RMS velocity refers to the root mean square velocity of particles in a gas, which is the square root of the average of the squares of the velocities. It is a measure of the average speed of gas particles in a system.


What properties of gas particles is measured by temperature?

The property of gas particles that is measured by temperature is the average kinetic energy. This energy will increase as a gas becomes warmer or the temperature increases.


Is it true that the faster gas particles move the greater their energy and the lower their temperature?

No, the temperature of a gas is actually a measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles, not their speed. Faster-moving gas particles do have higher kinetic energy, leading to a higher temperature.


What happens to the average speeds of the particles in a gas when the gas's tempeature is increased?

The average particle speed increases.


What is a average measure of kinetic energy?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles such as the molecules in a gas or a liquid.


The average kinetic energy of gas particles?

To determine that, you either need to know the average speed of the hydrogen atoms or the temperature of the sample. Knowing neither of those things, there is not enough information to answer the question.


When talking about the speeds of atoms in a gas you must refer to the average speed because?

the speed of individual atoms in a gas can vary widely due to collisions and interactions with other particles, making it more meaningful to consider the average speed of a large number of atoms. This average speed provides a better representation of the overall behavior of the gas particles.


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.

When the speed of particles in a gas increases what els increases?

As the speed of the particles in gas increases the heat of gas increases as well.


What is the measure of the average energy of motion of the particles in a substance?

Temperature is the measure of the average velocity of the particles of a material. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas. Thus, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases as the gas becomes warmer. Keep in mind, though, that the temperature of a substance is proportional to the amount of heat (thermal energy) that it is receiving or losing (except during a phase change, e.g. from liquid to gas), but it is not the same thing.
