What other liquids which can solidify?
At a high enough temperature all compounds and elements will evaporate. Evaportaion happens as a liquid transforms to a gaseous state. Many liquids can evaporate but the question is what liquid can evaporate.
What is the difference between growth and develop?
growth is when the organism expands in size and develop is when they get more of something.
Matter expands or contracts to fill the space available?
Liquid Not liquids,gases.
Is Mercury a gas a solid or a liquid?
Known as a liquid but obviously it can be all three. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, it will solidify if you make cold enough, -40 C and be gas if you make it hot enough, +357 C. It expands and contracts easily in this liquid form, which is why old thermometers used it.
What will happen to water if it kept in freezer?
When water freezes, it expands and the volume increases by almost 10%. Therefore, the bottle would deform or rupture depending on the strength of the materials.
List two interesting fact about sulphur?
Sulphur expands when it solidifies Sulphur is bright yellow
Why do warm materials rise and cooler materials sink?
If materials get warmer, it expands; therefore the density (which is mass divided by volume) decreases.
What is ice wedging cause by?
When water freezes, it expands. This can cause rocks to crack or break, then the water thaws to create a visible gap in the rock. This is ice wedging.
What is bellows file?
expands and contracts to accomodate varying amount of materials
What materials expands the most Gold Aluminum Glass Wood Iron?
Gold
Does an iron ring expands or contracts on heating?
Most materials expand when heated.
What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something cold?
The liquid in thermometers contracts when placed in something cold (and expands when placed in something hot.)
What is jet grouting?
Jet grouting is a type of ground improvement technique used to solidify and/or improve the bearing capacity of weak, unstable, or liquefiable soils. Jet grouting is performed by injecting a cement or lime-ash slurry into the subsoil using a drilling rig. As the grout column expands and solidifies the subsoil is consolidated and stabilized. This method of soil improvement allows foundation and structural construction in locations where previous geotechnical or seismic conditions deterred development..
When metal is heated and expands will the metal get larger or smaller?
Your answer is in the question. If something expands, it obviously gets bigger. Therefore, the metal will get larger.
When something is cold does it get bigger?
When something gets hot it expands and when it gets cold it'll contract
What other liquids which can solidify?
At a high enough temperature all compounds and elements will evaporate. Evaportaion happens as a liquid transforms to a gaseous state. Many liquids can evaporate but the question is what liquid can evaporate.
Mercury expands in a regular way How does this relate to the use of mercury in themometres?
Mercury expands as it cools. Mercury is placed within the bulb at the lower end of a glass tube so that, as the temperature decreases, the mercury may expand within the tube at a regular rate to make judging the temperature possible. Edit By Rouefever: Mercury expands as it is heated, not cooled, like many other substances. Cooling Mercury will make it contract, and then solidify (or freeze).
