Why does a gas increase greatly in volume when it is gently heated but a solid does not?

Because the pressure that is inflated on the gas which is highly inflammable multiplies on the volume of the gas.

What parameters do you change in volume control ventilation to increase expiratory time?
what is the purpose of a heated wire circuit
When volume is increased does pressure increase or decrease?
Neither. Volume is independent of mass. Effectively, if you increase the volume of a substance you are moving the particles that comprise that substance apart. Eventually, you would have a gas which expands to fill the volume of its container.
What occurs when a rigid container of gas is heated?
Given that the container is "rigid" the size of the container holding the gas cannot change. Since the volume of the container remains constant, so too does the volume of the gas. The pressure however will increase.
Why do some substances change when they are heated or cooled?
A solid or liquid would not change in density because the volume would not change. The density of a gas would increase when cooled and decrease when heated provided the volume is allowed to change as a function of temperature. However, density of a gas is generally not measured because it is not a useful metric to use.* * * * *That is a rubbish answer.Almost all solids or liquids expand when heated. (Pure water under "normal" circumstances has an anomalous phase between 0 and 4 deg C). So heating will increase the volume thereby decrease the density.
Does particles in gases expand when heated?
This is because when heat is applied to particles, they gain energy, therefore they travel faster and space out. The volume will increase though the density will decrease. So matter will always expand when exposed to heat.
A volume of water is heated from C to C what happens?
The volume increase.
What is the increase in volume of a material when heated called?
Expansion.
What happens to the volume when heat is added?
When a substance is heated it's volume will increase.
Why does the volume of gas increase as it is heated?
it increase as a result of pressure generated from the heat
Why does volume of solid liquid or gas increase when it is heated?
the volume of a solid this that humans do to warm up
If the air inside a balloon is heated the volume will?
The volume would increase as the pressure of the expanding air increases.
Does the mass of a steel tube increase when it is heated from 30 degrees to 60 degrees?
When steel (or indeed anything) is heated its mass does not change. Volume is altered by cooling and heating. In this case the volume of the steel would increase.
What will happen to a balloon's volume if its heated?
The kinetic energy of the particles inside the balloon increase. This then expands the volume of the balloon.
Why does the volume of a balloon increase as the balloon is heated?
Because the gas inside expands with the heat
Why does the volume of the water on the cylinder increase when it is heated?
Because of the Brownian motion inside the water.
What is an increase in an objects volume when its heated?
Perhaps coincidentally, that physical change is called "expansion".
What will happen if an inflatable toy was left in the sun?
The volume of air in a balloon being gently heated will increase and that is call Charles Law. Jacques Charles formulated this gas law in the 1780's. As absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also increases in proportion.
