How much does 1000 liters of diesel weigh?
It depends on the type of fuel, and the temperature. Gasoline is lighter than diesel, which is in turn lighter than kerosene, and all carbon-based fuels expand with temperature, so hotter fuel weighs less per volume.
How are thermometer made?
It generally made using fluid which expand or contract linearly with temperature such as mercury, water or alcohol. Electronic thermometer use the relation of thermal property effect electrical conduction difference to measure temperature.
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
What will happen to a tied balloon that has dry ice inside it when it is placed in room temperature water?
The balloon should expand because the frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublime into carbon dioxide gas when placed into the room temperature water. The gas will expand, causing the balloon to expand.
How does the temperature of the air molecules change at each level of the atmosphere?
The air molecules expand as it gets higher and higher into the atmosphere. the molecules expand.
Does glass expand?
Glass expands and contracts according to the ambient temperature.
What is the use of bimetal thermometer?
They are used in thermostats as a physically temperature sensitive switch. Because the two different metals expand and contract at different rates when bimetals are wound into coils the coils become temperature sensitive and expand and contract with respect to the ambient temperature.
Does diesel expand when heated?
No it burns
Why does your 1995 Jeep Wrangler leak oil when it is cold outside?
Engine seal? Valve cover gasket/ seals may contract when ambient temperature is low and expand as engine heats up
What causes a substance to expand?
An increase in temperature of the substance causes it to expand.

Why is my car shrinking?
Is the temperature falling where you are ? Metal will expand and contract in relation to temperature. You would need a very big pair of vernier calipers to measure your car accurately though. If it is shrinking about .025mm per 10 degrees drop in temperature then this may be normal. :) Could it be that you are getting heavier?

Do solids expand at the same rate?
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
How does temperature create a high pressure area and a low pressure area?
Heat affect the gasses' molecules and atoms which make it spread and expand which increases the volume. If the volume is constant as in a closed system then the pressure will increase and decrease along with temperature in a extrusive relation.
What is the coefficient of expansion of diesel oil that is how much will it expand and contract in volume with changes in temperature assume for this question you are only speaking of liquid diesel?
Automotive diesel: 0.00084 per degC i.e. 10degC increase will produce roughly 1% increase in volume The figure varies for other hydrocarbons, but most are between 0.0007 and 0.0012 per degC.
What matter expand and contract?
explain how temperature affects matter using the words contract and expand
