If solids expand on heating then why we use a scale to measure length knowing that it will expand and contract?

The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.


Why density of a liquid is more affected by changes in temperature than the density of a solid?

Temperature affects the density of a liquid more than a solid because molecules in a liquid are less tightly packed and more free to move around, causing them to expand or contract with changes in temperature. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed together in a fixed structure, so temperature changes have less impact on the overall density.


What are the phase changes of matter?

The phase changes of matter are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid). These transitions occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.
