Thermal Expansion.

Each liquid or pure solid has a specific thermal of expansion.

The thermal expansion of a substance is not linear, though for most of the temperatures we encounter in normal life, it is close enough to linear to be able to use a linear definition called the "Coefficient of Thermal Expansion".

If the pressure of gas increases will the volume of gas also increase?

No. The pressure can increase at constant volume or even decreasing volume. The pressure, volume, temperature and amount of gas in a container are all linked. This is expressed using the Ideal Gas Law, which says that PV = nRT. In this equation, P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the amount of gas (in moles), R is a constant, and T is the temperature (in Kelvin). What the Ideal Gas Law says is that if the pressure goes up, something else much change, but it could be either the volume, the temperature, or the amount of gas. Let me give a few examples. Imagine some gas inside a piston. If you compress the piston, the volume will decrease, and the pressure will increase correspondingly. Now imagine a solid container (like an oxygen tank for scuba diving for instance). If it is empty and you start filling it with gas, the pressure will increase. In this case the volume is constant, but the amount of gas is increasing ("n" in the PV = nRT equation). Same idea when you pump up your car or bike tires -- the volume changes more than with a metal container, but not much really. For more information, see the links to the left of this answer.


Why does copper's mass increase when heated?

Any object will increase in mass, if you increase its energy (E = mc2). The effect is insignificant under normal circumstances.Apart from that, the mass of copper will not inrease. It will burn at some point and the reslulting compounds will weigh more.


Discuss the function of sodium chloride with reactive dye during dyeing of cotton?

Salt (usually NaCl) inrease the exhaustion i.e. increase the attraction between the dye molecule and the fabric. Usually dye (direct & reactive) molecules have negative charges and the fabric has also negative charge on its surface. Salt decreases the repulsion of negative-negative charges and hence improves exhaustion.

Does the use of pulley inrease one power?

A pulley system can increase one's mechanical advantage by distributing the force needed to lift an object over multiple ropes and pulleys, making it easier to lift heavy objects. This can make it feel like you have increased power when using a pulley system compared to lifting the object directly.

How does cylinder boring inrease speed and horsepower?

Cylinder boring increases speed and horsepower by enlarging the cylinder's diameter, which allows for a greater volume of air-fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber. This enhanced airflow increases the engine's efficiency and combustion power, leading to improved performance. Additionally, a larger cylinder can accommodate larger pistons, which can produce more torque and horsepower. Overall, these modifications enable the engine to generate more power, resulting in increased speed.
