Admin How does temperature affect particle spacing?
If the temperature is increased the particles gain more kinetic energy or vibrate faster. This means that they move faster and take more space.
What will happen on the particles when temperature increase and decrease?
When an object is heated the motion of the particles increases as the particles become more energetic. If it is cooled the motion of the particles decreases as they lose energy.
Do particles move closer together when the temperature decreases?
Heating a liquid increases the speed of the molecules. Cooling a liquid decreases the speed of the molecules. A decrease in the speed of the molecules allows the attractions between molecules to bring them a little closer together.
What happens to volume when temperature is increased?
When you increase temperature, you also proportionally increase volume to maintain the same pressure. That’s because the molecules in the gas move away from one another as they are heated, which increases the amount of space the gas takes up.
What happens to the temperature of air when compressed?
It tells us that when air is compressed, the pressure and temperature of the air increases, as the volume of the space containing air decreases. By pushing air into a smaller space, we force it to become hotter and more pressurized.
Why does the density of air increase with increasing volume?
Forcing these gas molecules together has some incredible consequences: As the number of molecules increases in a given volume, the mass of air also increases. As that mass of air increases, its density also increases.
What happens when you push air into a smaller space?
By pushing air into a smaller space, we force it to become hotter and more pressurized. The molecules within the air will try to spread apart, returning to their natural distance, and it’s this constant attempt to move away from one another that causes pressure.
