What else can I help you with?
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.
Why balloons expand when placed in hot water?
When a balloon is placed in hot water, the air molecules inside the balloon gain kinetic energy and move faster, causing them to exert more pressure on the walls of the balloon. This increased pressure results in the balloon expanding in order to accommodate the higher volume of air it contains.
Why do ping pong balls expand in hot water?
Because heat makes plastic expand in hot water.
Does hot air expand and rise?
yes
Why do air bubble come out of the top of a washing-up bottle when you put it in hot water?
Because the heat from the hot water is transferred through the wall of the bottle to the inside, where it heats the air, causing it to expand and come out the top of the bottle.
What will happen if you put a balloon in hot water?
The air inside the balloon will expand due to the heat, causing the balloon to inflate. If the water is hot enough, the balloon may eventually burst due to the increased pressure from the expanding air.
How will a bottle of hot water affect a balloon streched over the top?
When a bottle of hot water is placed near a balloon stretched over the top, the air inside the balloon will expand due to the heat, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, if the hot water cools down, the air will contract and the balloon will deflate.
How does hot water help open a ajar?
Hot water causes the jar lid to expand.
Why placing a dented table-tennis ball in boiling water is one way to remove the dent in the ball assume the ball has no holes?
The hot water causes the air trapped inside the ball to expand and it may pop the dent out to the original shape.
What happens to the volume of a balloon if exposed to hot air?
The air will expand, increasing the volume
Why does a bottle inflate when a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water?
When a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water, the air inside the bottle expands due to an increase in temperature. Since the bottle is sealed off from the outside, the expanding air has nowhere to go, causing the balloon to inflate as a result of the increased pressure inside the bottle.
Does hot water in a plastic bottle causes it to expand?
Not necessarily. You have to have a space of air in the bottle. The expansion/contraction happens because the water is heating/cooling the air. Liquids are usually considered incompressible and hence will not change their volume when heated or cooled (unless it evaporates or melts!). Assuming that you have an air space: If you have cold water in a sealed bottle that you heat up, it will expand. If you put hot water in a bottle and seal it, it will contract as it cools. If the bottle is not sealed, there will be no volume change.
