The movement in liquid is caused by the energy stored in the substances molecules. The energy causes the molecules to me more active and therefore more random, with the ability to displace themselves between one another to fit to the surroundings (i.e. a cup).

What is heat transfer by movement of a heated liquidis called?

The heat transfer by movement of a heated liquid is called convection. This occurs when the heated liquid rises due to its decreased density and is replaced by cooler liquid, creating a continuous flow that helps distribute the heat.


What is the movement of liquid or gas particles from a high to a low concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of liquid or gas particles from a high to a low concentration. This process occurs in an attempt to reach equilibrium, where the concentration of particles is the same throughout the system.


Why does the slow moving liquid a higher viscosity?

A liquid with higher viscosity has more resistance to flow due to the stronger intermolecular forces between its molecules. This results in slower movement of the liquid compared to a less viscous liquid.


The transmission of heat requiring the movement of a liquid or a gas?

This process is known as convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). As the fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying heat energy with it. Conversely, cooler fluid moves in to take its place, completing the convection cycle.


How is temperature related to the viscosity of a liquid?

Temperature and viscosity of a liquid are inversely related; as temperature increases, viscosity decreases. This is due to increased molecular movement and reduced molecular attraction at higher temperatures, causing the liquid to flow more easily. Conversely, lower temperatures result in higher viscosity as molecular movement decreases, making the liquid more resistant to flow.

How is the movement of a molecule of particles different when its a solid and gas and a liquid?

The movement of a molecule's particles in a solid move much less and are more structured than a liquid, and a liquid's particles move less than a gas.The movement of a molecule's particles of solid move much less and are more rigid than liquid, and liquid more so than a gas.
