Any object consists of particles. In a solid they are close together and do not move much. In a liquid the particles can move more freely past each other as they have more heat energy. In a gas the heat energy is largest and the particles move fastest.

By heating any object we add heat energy to it. This speeds up the particle movement as the energy increases. It also expands the bonds between the particles and, if this goes far enough, the object changes state. (Ice melts when heated from solid to liquid)

How would one rate or speed of diffusion be affected if the particles were expose to a higher temperature?

An increase in temperature would lead to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move faster. This would result in a higher rate of diffusion as the particles would spread out more quickly due to their increased speed.


What will happen if you increase the mass in light?

Photons ('particles' of light) have zero rest mass. When they move at the speed of light (the normal situation) they do have momentum due to the relativistic nature of the Universe. If we were to hypothesize light particles with mass the development of the Universe would be entirely different.


Would you expect the motions of particles in all state of matter to increase or decrease as ths temperature increase?

The general tendency is for the average speed of particles to increase as temperature increases.But please note that temperature can't be DEFINED simply as the average speed; it is more closely related to the average ENERGY per particle. And the energy for each particle depends on the SQUARE of the speed; but it also depends on the mass of the particle.


What happens to the pressure of a container at a constant pressure and temperature when gas particles are added?

The pressure of the container would increase because adding more gas particles increases the number of collisions with the walls of the container. This leads to an increase in the force exerted by the gas on the walls, resulting in a higher pressure.


Adding energy or increasing the speed of the particles at very low pressure in a solid would cause?

Increasing the energy or speed of particles in a solid at very low pressure would lead to an increase in temperature and potentially a phase transition from solid to liquid or gas. This is because higher energy levels can break the intermolecular forces that hold the solid structure together, causing it to change state.

What increase as the average energy of the motion of the particles of matter increase?

The temperature of the substance would increase as the average energy of particle motion increases. Additionally, the pressure exerted by the particles on the walls of the container would also increase.

How would you describe the change in the arrangement of particles as heat energy and temperature increase?

When heat is added, the arrangement of the particle (the Entropy of the system) will become more disorganized and Entropy will increase. When heat is taken away, the arrangement of the particles will become more organized and Entropy will decrease.


What the increasing temperature doas to the particles and how this affects the number of collisions?

Increase in temperature cause the particles to move faster, which in turn would increase the number of collisions. If the volume did not change and the temperature increased, the pressure would also increase.


How would decreasing the time it took you to run a certain distance affect your speed?

It would increase your speed.


If turns of winding were added to an inductor it inductance would?

... increase.


What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?

An increase in temperature or a decrease in volume would call the pressure to increase. Apex- increasing the number of gas particles


Why does the temperature rise as heat is being added when only one phase exists?

I think that the temperature rises when heat is being added because all of the energy has nothing else to focus on so it changes the temperature. Also, adding heat would make the temperature rise.


Will particles slow down if you add heat to them?

No. Actually they would speed up.


What would happen to the pressure in the container if the number particles were tripled?

If the number of particles in the container were tripled, the pressure in the container would increase because more particles would be colliding with the walls of the container, exerting more force per unit area. This increase in collisions would result in higher pressure.
