When heat flows from one substance to another what happens to the temperature of the substance receiving the heat?

If heat leaves a substance, it becomes colder (temperature falls) and when heat enters it becomes warmer (temperature climbs). Note that, because of entropy, heat will only go from warm to cold things.

What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What happens to temperature as energy is added to a substance that is changing state?
The temperature remain constant during the phase changing.
What happens to the temperature of a substance when you prevent gain or loss of thermal energy?
If you define "thermal energy" as heat, and the "substance" is not affected by any energy that increases or decreases its temperature, by definition, nothing will happen to its temperature. If the substance reacts to electromagnetism, light or other radiation, it may increase or decrease its temperature, depending on the nature of the substance and its reaction to those energies. Note: See Discussion question.
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
What happens to a temperature of a substance while a changing of state occurs?
As a substance changes state, the temperature remains constant.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
What happens to a substance's temperature as it god through the change of state?
Its temperature remains constant.
What happens when the temperature of substance is increased?
The solubility of solids in water increases with the increasing temperature.
What happens to solubility of a substance when their is rise in temperature?
Generally, as temperature increases, solubility increases. There are a few cases where the opposite happens, though.
What happens to the temperature of a substance as it changes from a solid to a liquid?
it heats up
What if you mix matter with another substance?
What happens would depend on what sort of matter you are stirring in.
What is called changing a particular substance into another particular substance?
The conversion of one substance to another substance is a chemical change, which happens as a result of a chemical reaction.
If you place a less dense substance into another substance with a greater density what happens?
It floats.
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What happens to temperature as energy is added to a substance that is changing state?
The temperature remain constant during the phase changing.
