Yes, different liquids have different coefficients of volume expansion, which means they expand by different amounts for the same increase in temperature. This is because the molecular structure and composition of liquids vary, leading to different responses to changes in temperature.

How does temperature affect the volume of liquid?
Most liquids will expand when heated up.
What is it called when different substances expand by different amounts when heated?
The coefficient of _____ expansion. It depends what kind of expansion you are talking about.
Why do substances expand when temperature is increased?
When the temperature of a substance is increased, its molecules or atoms jiggle faster and move farther apart, on the average. The result is an expansion of the substance. With a few exceptions, all forms of matter--solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas--generally expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.
What expands and how does that expansion indicates the temperature?
Solid,Liquids,Gases expand when heated. Heat makes the particle attraction low hence the space between the particles increase and the thing expand. The expansion is the increase in the moleculer space of substances.
Do liquids expand faster when heated than solid?
no
How does temperature affect the volume of liquid?
Most liquids will expand when heated up.
How come liquids don't freeze at the same rate?
OK well, liquids expand at cold temperature while other matter contracts at cold temp. so the liquids expand and turn into ice. I need more info, How come liquids don't freeze at the same rate as what
Why does a bi-metal strip bends?
A bi-metal strip consists of two metals that expand by different amounts when the temperature changes, so it will bend when heated.
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
Does liquids expand?
I assume your question deals with expansion in volume under conditions of heating and / or cooling. I believe that most liquids expand in volume when they are heated and contract in volume when they are cooled. Water does not follow this pattern entirely - it expands when it is cooled from a liquid state to a solid state.
Why will all solids liquids and gases all expand and contract?
They are all subordinated to temperature variations, which make them contract or expand. This is a physical characteristic for almost all elements.
Hoe does a thermometer work?
Different types of thermometers work differently, by measuring some property that changes with temperature. The model commonly used in households uses the fact that liquids expand when heated.
Do most liquids expand as they get hotter?
Not only liquids but also solids expand as they get hotter, with few exceptions.
On what principal do most thermometer work?
Most thermometers work on the principle that elements and compounds expand as their temperature increases. Liquids or solids that expand at a constant rate over the desired temperature range are used so that the amount they have expanded can be measured and compared against known expansion rates to determine the temperature.
What is it called when different substances expand by different amounts when heated?
The coefficient of _____ expansion. It depends what kind of expansion you are talking about.
Do liquids expand?
Yes. liquids expand. If we heat the beaker which is filled with water using a candle, the volume will rise as the water is mixed with hot air. Hot air would want to excape, therefore liquids do expand.
Liquids contract when heated?
Liquids expand when heated and contractwhen cooled.
