How does heat affect solids liquids and gases?

Answer 1

Almost all solids, liquids and gases will have its volume increased as heat is given. In case of solids, definitely volume increases as its temperature increases. Temperature is the effect due to the heat given. Hence heat is the cause.

In case of liquids too the volume increases as heat is absorbed. But in water especially as its temperature is increased right from zero to 4 deg celcius the volume decreases. Conversely as the temperature is reduced below 4 deg its volume increases and so it is named as anomalous expansion.

In case of gases, we have one condition. As the pressure is maintained constant, then increase in temperature would bring an increase in its volume.

Answer 2

Heat effects solid liquid and gas by 1.Liquid:A Liquid is formed when a solid is melted:Ex:Ice turns to water when it melts 2.Solid:A Solid is formed when something say liquid is hardened or molded 3.Gas:A Gas is when a liquid is boiled or heated to a certain point

Answer 3

Generally, when substances are heated, their particles begin to move faster. In solids, molecules vibrate together; heat makes them vibrate harder, and when the particles get hot enough, they vibrate together hard enough to break away from the molecule structure -- this is called melting, like when ice melts into water.

In liquids, molecules tend to slide around each other; when they are heated, they start to bounce off of each other, and the liquid mass expands. If they bump off of each other hard enough, they too can break away from their molecule structure, and float about independently as a gas molecule -- that's called evaporation, like when you heat water and steam is produced.

Gas molecules tend to bounce off of each other; when they are heated, the gas mass expands because they bounce off of each other harder.

Answer 4

With rare exceptions, if pressure is held constant, solids, liquids, and gases will expand as heat is added and contract when heat is extracted. A notable exception is water near its normal freezing point.

If heat is added at the saturation point, a phase transition will occur - solids will melt or sublime and liquids will evaporate. When heat is removed at the saturation point a phase transition will occur - gases will condense (either to liquid or solid depending on the type of phase boundary) and liquids will freeze.

Answer 5

Heat does not effect the volume of liquids, solids and gasses but rather changes their state.

Fact that might be helpful: There is never any new matter that forms on the earth, the same atoms have been around ever since the earth was created, and the only new matter ever entering the earth would be from asteroids etc.

Answer 6

In general, increased heat causes expansion. This leads to an increase in volume.

Answer 7

It changes the original state of the matter, ie from solids to liquids or liquids to gases and vice versa.
