According to Charles law, V/T is constant (pressure). If the volume is doubled, the temperature of the system have to be doubled and vice versa. The volume of a rigid container does not change upon heating.

When you heat a gas you provide it thermal energy which raises its internal energy (the sum of all microscopic kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules) the molecules move with a higher value of kinetic energy which implies each molecule moves with a higher velocity than before..As the molecules collide with one another or with the walls of the container they are kept in they rebound with higher energies moreover intermolecular forces weaken and the molecules space out further which results in an increase in volume

In most cases, the volume will increase with temperature... density decreases.

The volume of liquids and gasses increase as they are heated. This is because the heat energy is tranferred to the particles in the substance, making them increase their speed. The particles then need more space to move, so there becomes more space around the gas or liquid particles causing the substance expand and take up more space.

Because the energy content of the object increased, and energy has mass. The world's most famous equation: E=m(C-squared) can be written m=E/(C-squared). E is the energy, m is the mass, and C is the speed of light. Adding energy adds mass. All of this has nothing to do with expansion, except of course, most things do expand when heated.

It takes 420,000 Joules of energy to heat kilogram of water from 0 to 100 degrees C (without turning it to steam). The extra mass is 0.000000004 gram, from the formula above.

Molecules are moving or vibrating faster when they are heated.

How does volume of matter change with increase in temperature?

Assuming that pressure and the amount of matter are constant (meaning they do not change), volume will increase as temperature increases.


How will volume of a balloon change if pressure remains constant but temperature increases?

The volume will increase in proportion to the increase in absolute temperature.


Which state of matter shows the largest change in volume when warmed or cooled?

The state of matter that shows the largest change in volume when warmed or cooled is gas. Liquids and solids increase and decrease in volume in response to temperature change as well, but not to the same magnitude as gases.


What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?

1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume


How does temperature effect a volume air?

Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.

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;


What is the kind of matter that can change in shape but not volume?

Liquids. By assuming that temperature and pressure are constant so that volume does not change.


What happens to volume as temperature changes?

if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases


When temperature increases does density increase or decrease?

An increase in temperature usually causes an increase in volume. Since the mass doesn't change, density decreases. tt


What matter does not change in shape or volume?

That would be a solid. Solids expand and contract with temperature. The only thing that doesn't change with temperature would be degenerate matter such as neutronium.
