The density of the gas sample that is heated the density decreases. Cohesive forces in matter are related to potential energy from particle attractions.

It's density will decrease.


What happens to the density of a heated iron block?

The density will decrease because the heated metal contracts and its particles slow down.


What forces magma to Earth's surface?

Generally, its higher temperature. The temperature of a rising magma is generally higher than the temperature of its surrounding rocks. Because of its higher temperature, it is also lighter compared to the surrounding rocks (it has a lower density), so it rises. Imagine a hot air balloon: it rises because the air inside the balloon is heated, heating the air lowers its density (makes it lighter). As long as the density of the air inside the balloon is lower than the density of the air outside the balloon, the balloon rises.


What happens to volume and mass in a hot air balloon?

When the air is heated inside the balloon, it expands, causing it to be lighter than the surrounding (and presumably) cooler air. One imagines however, that as the air inside the balloon is heated, some air is forced out (due to expansion), thus resulting in a decrease in the entire apparatus' overall mass (not to mention a decrease in mass due to any fuel's having been used to heat the air in the balloon).


What happens to a balloon on a hot day and what might happen if it gets to hot?

When air is heated, its volume increases. If you fill a balloon with comparably cold air and then let it touch hotter air, the air inside will expand and thereby increase the pressure on the balloon membrane. If this pressure gets too strong, the balloon might pop.

When a balloon is heated its volume is doubled what happens to its density?

The density decreases by half. You find the answer by knowing that density is equal to mass divided by the volume. If the mass stays constants and the volume is doubled, then the density is halved.
