Best Answer

E=mc^2 states that energy is mass and mass is energy. Therefore if you add heat energy to a body its mass increases. For example when water is heated in a microwave oven; the oven adds about 1.11x10^-17 of mass for every joule of heat added to the water. This is a tiny amount but a change none the less.

the mass doesn't increase. the volume increases as density decreases

cause D=m/v

No because the solid just melted thats all and the volume expanded

Why does mass of TiO2 increase as it is heated at room temperature?

The mass of TiO2 does not increase as it is heated. As TiO2 is heated, the titanium becomes more oxidised, and increases in oxidation state, and so oxygen is added to the molecule, making TiO3. As oxygen is added to TiO2, the mass you measure increases, but it does not stay as TiO2.


Does the mass of a steel tube increase when it is heated from 30 degrees to 60 degrees?

When steel (or indeed anything) is heated its mass does not change. Volume is altered by cooling and heating. In this case the volume of the steel would increase.


Why does copper sulfate change mass when heated?

Solid copper appears to gain mass when heated in air, because the copper reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. However, the actual mass of the copper does not increase; the mass of the solid increases by a value equal to the mass of oxygen removed from the air.


Why does copper's mass increase when heated?

Any object will increase in mass, if you increase its energy (E = mc2). The effect is insignificant under normal circumstances.Apart from that, the mass of copper will not inrease. It will burn at some point and the reslulting compounds will weigh more.


Why does metal expand when heated?

The over excited metal-molecules are rapidly accelerating when the metal is heated, and this excitement caused them to collide more frequently than usual and in more drastic and random motions. The increase in kinetic energy promotes expansion.


When a given quantity of a liquid is heated the mass quantity will vary and how?

The volume will increase, since most liquids tend to expand when they are heated. The mass will NOT increase, for most practical purposes - since there is something called "conservation of mass". However, the energy added to the liquid is equivalent to a small amount of mass; this is insignificant for most practical purposes.


Does a copper rod increase in mass when heated?

Only an insignificant amount, due to mass-energy equivalence - the added energy implies some added mass.


Why when you pump in more air into the float it does not increase in mass?

It depends on the strength of the float's walls, and what the float actually is? Pumping more air into a balloon will increase its mass. Pump air into a metal tank, and while the pressure inside will increase, the mass of the metal tank would remain the same.
