Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?

gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.


Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?

All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.


Solid liquid or gas expand the most when heated?

Gases expand the most when heated compared to solids and liquids. This is because the particles in a gas have more kinetic energy and move more freely than particles in a solid or liquid, allowing for greater expansion when heated.


Why not measure amounts of liquid when hot?

Heat = expansion. The water molecules expand when heated. The container will expand, and then the measurment will be off?


Do liquids expand uniformly with rise in temperature?

No, liquids do not always expand uniformly with temperature. Generally, liquids expand as they are heated, but the expansion may not be uniform due to factors such as the specific properties of the liquid and the conditions under which it is heated.


What happens to a solid when is heated?

A substance in the solid phase will typically expand when heated. Most substances when heated sufficiently will melt into a liquid, assuming that they do not combust or sublimate.


Do all liquids expand when heated?

Which instrument makes use of the fact that most liquids expand when they are heated?

A thermometer utilizes the fact that most liquids expand when heated. As the temperature of the liquid inside the thermometer increases, its volume expands, causing the liquid to rise within the narrow tube of the thermometer and indicating a higher temperature reading.


Oil expand or contract when heated?

Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
