Heating a liquid or gas generally causes it to expand and become less dense. As molecules gain energy from heating, they move faster and spread out, increasing the volume of the substance while keeping its mass constant. This results in a decrease in density.

When a solid melts does the volume of the liquid?
Usually, a liquid is less dense than a solid, so when a solid melts its volume increases. However, this is not true for water or water-based liquids, because the H bonds make liquid water highly structured and therefore denser than expected.
What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
What is heavier water or pee?
Urine is about 95% water, but it contains urea (which can be harmful to the body) and other dissolved salts and organic compounds. These compounds are heavier than water, and therefore make urine heavier than water.
Why snow IS lighter than water?
Snow is lighter than water because it is less dense. Snow forms when water vapor in the air freezes into ice crystals, creating a structure with more air pockets compared to liquid water. These air pockets make snow less dense, allowing it to float on water and appear lighter.
Does oil and water and mix when its heated?
Oil and water do not mix regardless of whether they are heated or not. Oil is less dense than water and has different polarities, causing them to remain separate and not form a homogeneous mixture. Heating them might change their viscosities but will not make them mix.
Does adding water to a liquid make it less dense?
That depends on the specific situation. Assuming the liquids just mix, and don't have some other reaction: * Adding water to a liquid that is denser than water will result in a liquid that is less dense (than the liquid that is not water). * Adding water to a liquid that is less dense than water will result in a liquid that is more dense.
Is gas inside a hot air balloon less dense than a penny?
Yes. By definition, most gases are less dense than most solids. i can't think of a counter example. Plus, the gas inside a hot air balloon is superheated to make it even less dense, as heating things makes them less dense
Why would heating the gas in a hot air balloon make the balloon rise?
When the gas (air) in a hot air balloon is heated it becomes less dense. This makes the balloon more buoyant so it rises.Because heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the air surrounding the outside of the balloon, so it will rise.
Which affected more by heating gas solid or liquid?
I think it's liquid because heating it will make it evaporate.
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
What you force make things float?
Objects can be made to float by reducing their overall density so that they become less dense than the fluid they are placed in. This can be done by using materials that are less dense than the fluid, such as foam or inflatable objects. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, so if the object weighs less than the fluid it displaces, it will float.
What liquids don't make ice float?
A liquid that is less dense than ice. Pure alcohol is 70% of the density of water- and ice would not float in it.
Does rubbing alcohol evaporate faster when cooled?
the atmosphere determines rate of evaporation. if the atmosphere is as dense as a liquid within the atmosphere there is no evaporation at all. on earth, cooler atmospheres are generally less dense, so it's not cooling the liquid alcohol as much as providing it with a supply of less dense atmosphere that will make a liquid, alcohol, evaporate faster. on the extreme, putting a liquid into a vacuum will cause it to almost immediately evaporate, a.k.a. standardize the temperature and pressure of its atmosphere. there is really no such thing as evaporation as much as there is homogenization, standardization, of its atmosphere.
Why does heating a liquid make it rise?
Heated liquid rises because it reaches the boiling point.
Why does sugar water make objects sink?
For an object to float it must be less dense than the water/liquid that it's in. Adding sugar to water lowers its density because glucose molecules (sugar molecules) are less dense than water molecules. Therefore, putting an object into sugar water will make it sink.
How did they make the bullets out of lead?
By heating the lead into a liquid and pouring it into a mold
How do you make a balloon without a balloon?
There are actually a number of ways to make a balloon lift, without helium. Hydrogen is even less dense than helium (but has the disadvantage of also being highly flammable). And since hot air is less dense than cooler air, you can lift a balloon just by heating air. Since hot air is less expensive than either helium or hydrogen, that is a popular technique.
