Because of the pressure that is on the the hot iron the cold iron doesn't have as much force as the hot one so that's why!

Does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of iron what truly is the difference between the two?
Speaking from a weight standpoint a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of iron. They each weigh 1 pound. However it take many more feathers to weight a pound then chunks (ingots) of iron.
Why does rust weigh more than original powdered iron?
When iron (Fe) rusts, it combines with oxygen (O2) to form various forms of iron oxide such as Fe2O3, Fe3O4, or FeO2. In each of these there are oxygen molecules bonded to the iron. The oxygen comes from the air, water or other solution. So an object which was formally pure iron, once rusted, will contain additional mass from the oxygen and weigh more than it did before.
Why does steel wool turn blue after it's burned?
Iron wool gains mass when it is burnt because the oxygen in the fire oxidizes and rusts the iron. The additional oxygen molecules on the iron wool in the form of rust increases the mass of the wool.
Why does the rusty nail weigh more than the original nail?
rust is iron oxide. so what's happening at the atomic level is oxygen is bonding to the iron. The iron stays with oxygen attached, the oxygen is the increased weight.
Why does rust weight more?
Talking about Iron. Rust is an oxide of Iron. Basically Iron that rusts has captured Oxygen from the air around it in a chemical reaction - a slow one thankfully! The weight increase is due to the attached Oxygen.
Will burnt Iron weigh more or less than unburnt Iron?
The iron the hasn't burnt will less than the one that has burn because the mass is goign more thicker because it is burning
Does iron weigh the same as iron oxide?
The right question should be: Does one mole of iron weigh the same as one mole of iron oxide? The answer is NO, Iron Oxide weighs more.
Why does a small volume of iron weigh more than a large ball of cotton?
Because iron is much more dense.
Do candles weigh more when they are lit?
No. They weigh progresively less as the fuel/wax is burnt off and converted into gases. The flame hovers OVER the candle and does not weigh on the candle at all.
When powdered iron is left exposed to air it rest Y is the mass of the rest is greater than the mass of the powdered iron?
I believe the mass is greater as rust is the combination of iron plus oxygen, similarly the smoke and ash from a fire, if collected, would weigh more than the fuel alone before it was burnt. strange but true. Ask a chemistry boffin to prove the maths.
Would you weigh more or less on Sirius?
Apart from the fact you would be burnt to a cinder as Sirius is 10,000 K. Gravitationally you would weigh about 60 times more than you do on Earth - which would be enough to kill you.

Which weighs more a kg of clothes or a kg of iron?
If they are both a kilogram, then they both weigh the same.
Which weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of iron?
Neither. They both weigh 1 pound.
Which weights more 1kg of feather or 1kg of iron?
They both weigh the same = 1KgThe answer is there in your question
