Conservatiojn of Energy is the reason gases expand when heatd. Gas energy is PV= RT, when Temperature T increases then RdT = PdV + VdP if the pressure is constant the dP=0 then RdT= PdV meaning the gas expands.

Does gases contract when heated?
No, gasses expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Why do gases expand in charles law?
the kinetic energy of constant pressure causes the gasses to expand. when they are heated, the molocules get bigger causing the gas to expand. if it gets hot enough, it will explode.
When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?
Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.
How does convection happen?
Liquids and gasses tend to expand when heated, this lowers the density, thus warm "air" rises and cool air falls.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, in general a liquid will expand when heated. They contract when they are cooled.
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
What happens to matter when heated?
When matter is heated it will expand
What expands when it is heated?
Most substances expand when heated.
What expands when its heated?
Most substances expand when heated.
How does the production of hot gasses cause an explosion to occur?
because hot gasses expand
