Because the water molecules moves faster when heated and therefore, the volume expands.
Heat makes most things expand. Or in other words, heat makes matters less dense.(With the very known and remarkable exception of water, ice which will decrease in size when it becomes water and becomes more dense until it reaches 4 degrees Celsius, from which point on it will expand again.)Heat can make matters change state.Ice (solid) into water (liquid), water (liquid) into steam (gas).
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.
Volume is proportional to temperature, so if there is any increase in temperature, the volume of the gas will increase proportionally
Yes it has! the specific heat of water at constant volume is given by cV : Heat capacity at constant volume cP : Heat capacity at constant pressure : Thermal expansion coefficient : Isothermal compressibility : Density
Ice (frozen water) and Water (below 4 oC) expand when cooling. This is exceptional! Other substances, also Water (above 4 oC) expand when heated.
expand
Most substances expand as their temperature increases. One exception that I can think of is water, when it is near freezing. Water at 4°C will expand when cooled to 0°C, then as it freezes to ice it expands. This is why ice floats in water.
Yes. liquids expand. If we heat the beaker which is filled with water using a candle, the volume will rise as the water is mixed with hot air. Hot air would want to excape, therefore liquids do expand.
That usually means that when you heat a substance, it will expand - its volume will increase.
heat causes gases to expand
heat causes gases to expand
When heat is added to a system, it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Increased K.E in system causes molecules to move further away from each other. This causes system to increase in volume. Significant increase in volume might not occur but at microscopic level it definitely changes.
glass is a bad counductor of heat, so at first the glass flasks expands and its volume inside increases. the liquid which has not started to expand yet, drops to fill the extra volume inside
Applying heat to a gas will make it expand. If the volume of the gas is restricted (i.e. it cannot expand) then the pressure will increase.
When a substance is heated it's volume will increase.
It melts into a solid.
