Temperature is closely linked up to volume. In a solid the species are closely packed. As temperature increase so does the molecular vibrations. At a critical temperature the vibrational energy is sufficiently high that the species break their packing and thus melt into a liquid.

How does temperature affect the volume of a solid liquid and gas?

the higher the temperature, the higher the volume of a solid - michelle strafer


How does the change in temperature affect the volume of gas?

As the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume.


What will affect the ammount of solid needed to make a saturated solution?

the amount of solid there is and the temperature might also affect the amount of a solid that dissolves.


If the temperature and volume of a gas changes what else will change?

Volume ChangesThe volume of any solid, liquid, or gas will change with changes in temperature.


What temperature does a gas change?

any increase in temperature will cause gas to occupy a larger volume, any decrease will shrink the volume to a point it becomes liquid. further decrease will cause a solid to form. at -273 degrees celsius everything is solid

What can you say about the volume of solid?

The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.


How does high temperature affect volume?

High temperature makes the volume greater.

What are factors that affect gas pressure?

There are two factors that affect gas pressure. These factors are temperature and volume. Higher volume means lower pressure. Higher temperature means higher pressure.


If you increase the temperature of an object does it affect the volume?

Yes, it does affect the volume. The relationship between them can be explained by the equation pV=nRT (pressure x volume = number of moles of gas x molar gas constant x temperature). Therefore, there is a direct proportionality between temperature and volume. If the temperature doubles, so does the volume.


What will affect the ammount of solid needed to make a saturated solution?

the amount of solid there is and the temperature might also affect the amount of a solid that dissolves.


Does the type of cup affect water's temperature?

Yes, the size (volume and mass) and the type of the cup will affect its temperature


What is A VOLUME AND TWO THINGS THAT AFFECT IT?

Volume is a measure of how much space something takes up. Temperature and pressure affect volume.


Does the color dye in clear water effect it's temperature?

The dye will not affect the temperature of the water unless you have very small quantities of water. There can be a change of temperature when a solid dissolves but we are unlikely to observe this if there is a small amount of solid compared to the volume of water. If you are using less than a cup of water you may observe a temperature change.
