Best Answer

it doesn't it raises the average energy a particle has. that's temperature not heat.

What happens to the volume when heat is added?

When a substance is heated it's volume will increase.


Is density a measure of how much heat here is in a volume of a substance?

No.


What is the expansion meaning of eta?

That usually means that when you heat a substance, it will expand - its volume will increase.

What happen to the density of a substance when you heat it?

Normally when you heat a substance its volume increases while mass stays the same. It may not be noticable but the density would decrease.


If you heat up a fluid what happens to the volume?

The volume will increase as the fluid is warmed up.


How can density be changed without changing the make up of the substance?

reduce the volume of the substance by compression or increase the volume of the substance by decompression This assumes the substance is compressible, such as air. In the case of water, you can't.


Is density is a measure of how much heat there is in a volume of a substance?

"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a stationary fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." (Archimedes) And this is independent on the heat.


What are the various properties of a substance that determine its heat capacity?

volume,temperature change,specific heatcapacity


How does adding or removing heat to a system result in of temperature or change in state?

then the temperature either goes up or down. When you add heat to a substance the substance normally spreads out more for on a subatomic level the atoms vibrate more. Gases have a larger volume at the same pressure and fluids can increase in volume too. Solids normally expand. The opposite to the above is true with a decrease in temperature. It is good to note that if you melt ice it decreases in volume which is proof that heat dose not always expand the substance.


What is defined as the amount of space taken up by a substance?

Volume


How does increasing the heat energy of a substance change the behavior of particles of the substance?

They speed up.
