If material is heated and expands the density of the material will?

This relies on 3 things.
The Pressure, volume and temperature of a Gas is all related.
If the pressure is kept the same and temperature increased. The Volume (of the container) must be increased.
If the Volume (of the container) is kept constant and temperature is increased the Pressure will increase.
A rough idea of what will happen can be worked out by,
pV=cT
Where p is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, c is a constant, T is the temperature.

What happens to the density of matter when the matter is heated?
In almost all cases, matter expands and becomes less dense when it is heated. Melting ice is an exception.
What happens to the density of matter when heated?
In almost all cases, the matter expands. Density = mass / volume. When volume increases, the density decreases, because the mass is fixed.
Does the density of material change when the material expands?
Ice has expanded when it turned from water into ice. Ice floats. This shows that the density of the ice is less than water.
Does matter expands or contrast when heated?
Matter usually expands when heated.
What does density have to do with convection?
Things with a lower density will float on things with a higher density. If you take a fluid (air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is not heated. Get it? Hope you do!

What does matter do when it is heated?
Matter expands when it is heated.
When a substance is heated it can result to a rise in?
Electricity and volume This happens because when the mass expands over heat the density expands which in turn makes the volume expand
What expands when heated?
metal is a solid that expands when heated also of course when liquids are heated and change state into a gas they expand but metal is cool because it expands before it changes state
As air is heated its relative humidity?
Air expands when it is heated.
Does density change when the size of an object changes?
No. A drop of water and a tankerful of it have the same density. But these are two different masses of the same material. If you have, say a piece of metal and heat it up so that it expands, and there is still the same amount of substance, then the density decreases as the substance expands. Water expands as it freezes; that is why ice floats in water.
What happens to the density of a gas sample collected in a balloon as the sample is heated?
The air becomes less dense as it expands making the balloon appear to self inflate.
What expands when its heated?
Most substances expand when heated.
