Temperature can be used as an indication of the energy that particles in a substance have. When the temperature is higher, particles have more energy and "bounce" around harder and in a bigger space. When the temperature is lower, the opposite happens.

How does temperature affect the volume of substance?

An increase in temperature will cause an increase in volume, while a decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in volume.


Does water keep its volume?

In general, yes, but lots of things may cause its volume to change. The volume will change if temperature or pressure change, or if something dissolves in the water. Volume may also decrease by evaporation.


What is the relationship between temperature and consumption of oxygen?

According to the gas law (V=nRT/P), a change in temperature will cause a direct change in volume.


Does temperature cause the most change in volume of a gas than any other state of matter?

Yes.


What temperature does a gas change?

any increase in temperature will cause gas to occupy a larger volume, any decrease will shrink the volume to a point it becomes liquid. further decrease will cause a solid to form. at -273 degrees celsius everything is solid


Why do solids change their volume?

it cannot change its volume because it has a definite shape and the electrons are tightly packed but it can change its volume when there is a slight change in temperature.

How does volume of matter change with increase in temperature?

Assuming that pressure and the amount of matter are constant (meaning they do not change), volume will increase as temperature increases.


How does temperature effect a volume air?

Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.


What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?

1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume


What can change the volume of a gas?

Change the pressure or change the temperature. Volume changes inversely with pressure and directly with temperature. That is to say, if you squeeze it, it gets smaller. If you heat it, it gets bigger.


Does the volume of a substance remain the same when heat is added or removed?

Usually the volume changes - only a small amount for a solid or liquid, quite a lot for a gas. For an "ideal gas", the volume doubles when the temperature (absolute temperature, expressed in kelvin) doubles.
