Temperature is closely linked up to volume. In a solid the species are closely packed. As temperature increase so does the molecular vibrations. At a critical temperature the vibrational energy is sufficiently high that the species break their packing and thus melt into a liquid.

What can you say about the volume of solid?

The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.


How does high temperature affect volume?

High temperature makes the volume greater.

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


Does changing the temperature of a gas has no effect on the volume of the gas?

No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).


How does decreasing the volume affect the volume of gas?

If the temperature remains constant, decreasing the volume will increase the pressure.


What is A VOLUME AND TWO THINGS THAT AFFECT IT?

Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object or substance. Two things that affect volume are the size or dimensions of the object and the temperature, which can cause expansion or contraction of the material, therefore changing its volume.

A solid usuallyhas a fixed and volumewhy?

Your question is poorly worded. However, I think you are asking: "A solid usually has a fixed volume; why?" It's a matter of degrees - literally. Very few solids have a fixed volume without a context of temperature and pressure. A given volume of virtually any solid will be altered by temperature.


How does increasing the temperature of a gas within a gas tank affect its volume?

It affects pressure, not volume.


What affect the volume of solids?

Volume is the ratio between mass and density; density depends on temperature.
