Yes. If you get in your car on a hot summer day, is it hotter inside or outside the car? It's hotter inside the car because the gas is being trapped and can't go anywhere.

The gas expands which means they move faster but if its in a container the container may blow

Is temperature a factor in determining density?

In the case of gases yes. For a gas, the density is directly proportional to the pressure and inversely proportional to the temperature (absolute ie Kelvin). In other words the higher the temperature the lower the density. This is because gases expand with temperature. Liquids and solids do expand but only slightly so there is not much change in density for these.


What gases expand?

All gases can and will expand in the right conditions.


Do gases expand in heat?

Yes. If the temperature increases, the gas expands (assuming the pressure remains constant).


How do phases of matter change from one form to another with heat energy?

In general matter expands its temperature and volume with heat.This heat energy causes an increase of energy internal to the matter that expands its volume: solids melt to liquids, liquids expand to gases; and gases transform to plasma. At phase temperatures the matter changes form with no change in temperature;


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.


Can gases be heated?

Yes, gases can be heated. They try to expand if not contained, thus becoming less dense and causing convection currents. At a certain temperature some gases their "flash point" when they will burn or explode.

Why are gases often times stored away from heated pipeline?

Expansion of gases at high temperature can be a cause of an explosion.


Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?

Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.


Gases kept at constant temperature if its temperature is change from 50 celsius to 100 celsius by what factor does the factor change?

The temperature factor increases to 1.1547, approx.


What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?

The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.


How does volume affect temperature?

Normally there is no affect. In a gas, a CHANGE of volume of a single body, will give a change in temperature. If a gas is compressed the temperature will increase. If a gas is allowed to expand, there will be a reduction in temperature. This principle is used in diesel engines, to ignite the fuel by compression and fridges, where an expansion of gas causes cooling.
