Liquids "expand" when heated and "contract" when cooled.
The ideal gas law applies to liquids as well as gasses:
where p is the absolute pressure of the gas; V is the volume; n is the amount of substance; R is the universal gas constant; and T is the absolute temperature.
In SI units, p is measured in pascals; V in cubic metres; n in moles; and T in kelvin. R has the value 8.314472 J·K−1·mol−1 in SI units[4]).
Given that the liquid is in an open container, the pressure of the gas/liquid p becomes a constant in the above equation and the volume V varies directly with the temperature T.
Some may think that water "expands" when it becomes ice in violation of the above law, but the actual expansion is secondary to the trapped air bubbles inside the structure of the ice, and not actually in the frozen water itself.
What else can I help you with?
Does lead expand and contract?
Yes, lead does expand when heated and contract when cooled, just like most materials. This property is known as thermal expansion and contraction.
Can gases expand or contract?
Yes, gases can both expand and contract. When heated, gases expand as the molecules move more rapidly, increasing the pressure and volume. Conversely, when cooled, gases contract as the molecules slow down, decreasing the pressure and volume.
What expands in heat and shrinks in cold?
Most materials expand when heated due to increased molecular motion, and contract when cooled due to decreased molecular motion. Examples include gases, liquids, and solids such as metals and plastics.
Do any matter expand when cooled and contract when heated?
Sort of. In the temperature range of 0-4 Degrees Celsius water contracts when heated and expands when cooled. Outside of this temperature range it behaves normally.
What is it called when different substances expand by different amounts when heated?
The coefficient of _____ expansion. It depends what kind of expansion you are talking about.
Liquids contract when heated?
Liquids expand when heated and contractwhen cooled.
Do liquides contract when heated?
Liquids expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Does gases contract when heated?
No, gasses expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Do any metals contract when heated?
No, metals always expand when heated and contract only when cooled.
Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, most liquids expand when heated because the heat causes the molecules within the liquid to move faster and spread out, increasing the overall volume. However, there are exceptions such as water, which expands when heated until it reaches a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, at which point it begins to contract.
Does liquids expand?
I assume your question deals with expansion in volume under conditions of heating and / or cooling. I believe that most liquids expand in volume when they are heated and contract in volume when they are cooled. Water does not follow this pattern entirely - it expands when it is cooled from a liquid state to a solid state.
What happened to the matel when it is on a cold day?
Metals contract when they are cooled, and expand when they are heated.
Does Ice contract when cooled and expand when heated like most other solids?
yes
Does lead expand and contract?
Yes, lead does expand when heated and contract when cooled, just like most materials. This property is known as thermal expansion and contraction.
Why does a gass expand when heated and contract when cooled?
When a gas is heated up, the particles within the gas start to move faster, going farther apart (expansion). When a gas is cooled, the particles slow down and it starts to condense (contract), and if cooled enough, into a liquid.
How does a bar of steel get shorter after it has cooled down?
The bar will contract (get shorter) as it cools down, and expand (get longer) as it is heated up.
