The kinetic theory of matter explains that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance. In hot water, the molecules have higher kinetic energy, leading to faster movement. This is because heat energy is transferred to the molecules, causing them to vibrate and move more rapidly compared to molecules in cold water with lower kinetic energy.

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.


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 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.


Which do molecules move faster-hot or cold water?

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


What motion do molecules move when in cold water?

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.


Does hot water or cold water particles move faster?

hot water molecules move faster with food coloring.you can experiment it with the help of following steps:-Fill the glasses with the same amount of water, one cold and one hot.Put one drop of food coloring into both glasses as quickly as possible.Watch what happens to the food coloring.If you watch closely you will notice that the food coloring spreads faster throughout the hot water than in the cold. The molecules in the hot water move at a faster rate, spreading the food coloring faster than the cold water molecules which mover


What happens to water molecules when they are heated?

Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)


Do molecules move faster with heat or with cold?

heat


Does cold water dissolve salt?

When substances have a high temperature, they have more energy. The more energy molecules have, the faster they move. The molecules in hot water move faster than cold water because of the higher energy. Because the molecules of hot water move faster, they can more easily break apart other molecules of a different substance when they come into contact. The fast moving water molecules can break apart the bonds between the salt crystals so they become dissolved into the water. Therefore, salt water can only dissolve in hot water.


Does salt dissolve better in hot or cold?

Hot waterWhen substances have a high temperature, they have more energy. The more energy molecules have, the faster they move. The molecules in hot water move faster than cold water because of the higher energy. Because the molecules of hot water move faster, they can more easily break apart other molecules of a different substance when they come into contact. The fast moving water molecules can break apart the bonds between the salt crystals so they become dissolved into the water.


Do Jelly babies dissolve in cold or warm water faster?

warm water because at a higher temperature the water molecules have more energy and can move faster therefore they are able to break down the molecules in the jelly babies quicker than in cold water
