The molecules of any fluid (including that of air) move faster when the fluid is being heated, because a result of increased kinetic energy (this energy is gained and increased because of increasing heat transfer rate or heat energy transfer). (note that heat transfer rate increase by a constant multiplied by temperature change between the initial and final temperature of the gas/any fluid in question). As a result of this molecular speed and kinetic energy increase, the molecules collide (with each other) more often as the temperature increases. The collisions make the molecules move far and further apart from each other (due to momentum), needing an increased volume/space to cantain them.

Does Air expand when its is heated?
yes
Why do solids expand when heated even though their mass does not change?
BECAUSE the moncules are heated they expand because there gay and expand
What expands when it is heated?
Most substances expand when heated.
Why do balloons expand by hot heat?
Answer:The air inside the balloon gets heated and expands as the air molecules move apart due to temperature.
Does steel expand or compress when heated?
The steel would EXPAND
Does Air expand when its is heated?
yes
When air is heated?
Correct answer= it become "expand"
Why an inflated balloon is heated why it bursts?
the heat caused the air inside to expand.
What happends to air when its heated?
In accordance with Boyle's Law, if the volume of the air is restricted, the pressure will increase. If there is no volume restriction, the air will expand.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
When air is heated gases do what?
its pressure will increase if it is placed in a fixed container, or it will expand if it is free to do so
How much does air expand when heated?
it depends on how much it is heated for example when lightning is released it expands the air by thousands of degrees by heat of it.and there is a big banging sound known as thunder
Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, in general a liquid will expand when heated. They contract when they are cooled.
Does warm air take up more space?
yes, as the particles of air are heated, it moves more rapidly, which causes it to expand
How do molecules in a hot air balloon act when heated?
When the air is heater, the molecules move faster and expand to fill the volume of the container.
Why do solids expand when heated even though their mass does not change?
BECAUSE the moncules are heated they expand because there gay and expand
Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?
Expand
