When pressure is added to a gas the molecules bounce around really fast and push against the walls of its container. That's why when you squeeze an empty water bottle you can crush it all the way. The smaller the container the more the molecules hit the walls faster and that's what creates pressure. While moving around the molecules get hot as they speed up. Heat = Pressure.

Answer:

“The kinetic energy of gas particles is higher in hot food than in cold food.”  

Explanation:

One of the properties responsible for this is “The kinetic energy of gas particles is higher in hot food than in cold food.”  

Remembering that kinetic energy is related to the speed or speed in the movement of particles or molecules, you can start by saying that foods are made up of molecules. The higher the temperature of these foods, the faster the molecules move. If the molecules move fast enough, they detach from food and move in the air. Our noses absorb those molecules, and from that we smell that food. Hot food, as mentioned, has faster molecules, so they come off faster and there is more in the air. Then we can smell that food faster than the cold food molecules.

This process is called diffusion. Diffusion is a process in which particles are introduced into a medium that was initially absent from them, that is, the gradual mixing of the molecules of one gas with the molecules of another, by virtue of their kinetic properties. In this case the particles or molecules of the food are mixed with the particles present in the air, in order to reach our noses and you can feel their smell

If kinetic energy increases does pressure decrease?
enyata [817]

If molecules are in a closed container then we expect the pressure to increase as the kinetic energy increases. This is because the atoms of an element collide with the walls of the container and increase the pressure.

If we use the formula PV=nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature.  According to the formula, P is directly proportional to temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.

Since we know that temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules present. It means as we increase the temperature we increase the kinetic energy of the molecules which in turn leads to an increase in the pressure.

If you heat your melting point tube too quickly, what will your observed melting point be in comparison to the actual melting po
solniwko [45]

Explanation:

When conducting a melting point experiment, if we were to heat a sample quickly. Large amount heat is provided instantly which would melt the crystals in the tube very quickly, even before the temperature of the thermometer reaches to that level. So the observes melting point would be much lower than the actual melting point when sample is heated slowly.
