When air particles in a test tube are heated, they gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increase in movement causes the particles to collide with each other and the walls of the test tube more frequently and with greater force, leading to an increase in pressure if the volume of the test tube remains constant. As a result, the temperature and pressure of the air inside the test tube rise.

What happens if ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck?

When ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck, it will sublimate directly from a solid to a gas without melting. The gas will then travel up the long neck of the test tube and may condense back into solid form upon cooling, forming a white crystalline residue at the top of the tube.

What two things are important to remember when heating a test tube?

First, always point the test tube away from yourself and others to prevent any splattering of hot liquids. Second, use a test tube holder to handle the test tube as it becomes very hot, preventing burns.

What happens if the mixture of iron and sulfur is heated in a test tube?

When the mixture of iron and sulfur is heated in a test tube, a chemical reaction occurs, producing iron sulfide. This reaction is represented by the equation Fe + S -> FeS. The iron and sulfur atoms combine to form a new compound known as iron sulfide.

What happens to the water in the small tube as the water in the test tube absorbs heat?

As the water in the test tube absorbs heat, its temperature increases, causing it to expand. This expansion can create a pressure difference that may cause the water in the small tube to either rise or flow, depending on the setup. If the small tube is connected to the test tube, the heated water may push some of the water in the small tube upward, demonstrating the effect of thermal expansion.

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

When a thermometer is heated, the liquid particles gain energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and rise in the thermometer's tube. This expansion of the liquid column indicates an increase in temperature on the thermometer scale.
