It depends upon the scale (units) being used:

  • Celsius: 38oC to 32oC results in denser water and so a decrease in volume
  • Fahrenheit: 38oF to 32oF results in less dense water and so an increase in volume.

Water is its densest at about 4oC ≈ 39oF which is why ice at 0oC (32oF) floats.

What happens to the gas when temperature drops from 100 degrees to -100 degrees?

You will recall from the Ideal Gas Laws that temperature, pressure, and volume are all connected in terms of the behavior of a gas (especially an ideal gas, but actual gas resembles ideal gas to a certain extent). So, if the gas is in a container of fixed volume, then reducing the temperature will correspondingly reduce the pressure.


What happens to the volume of an object when temperature decrease?

When the temperature of an object decreases, its volume tends to decrease as well. This is because as the temperature drops, the particles in the object move slower and closer together, causing the object to contract and reduce in volume.


If the temperature is -16 degrees and it drops 7 degrees what is the temperature?

- 23 degrees


If heat is transferred away from a gas what could happen?

If heat is transferred away from a gas, its temperature will decrease, causing the gas to contract or decrease in volume. This could lead to a decrease in pressure as well, possibly causing condensation or a phase change if the temperature drops low enough.


If the temperature drops from 6 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees Celsius how much did it drop?

The temperature dropped by 11 degrees Celsius.


It is 54 degrees outside the temperature drops 18 degrees what will the temperature outside?

Still 54 degrees if the 18 degree drop is inside!


If the temperature is curently 45 degrees and drops to -4 degrees in 7 hours which number shows the change in temperature?

The change in temperature is 49 degrees, calculated by subtracting the final temperature (-4 degrees) from the initial temperature (45 degrees).


At what temperature do pipes freeze?

Pipes can freeze when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius).


As elevation rises temperature does what?

As elevation rises, temperature generally decreases due to the decrease in air pressure and the thinner atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the lapse rate, where for every 100 meters increase in elevation, the temperature may decrease by about 0.6 degrees Celsius.


What temperature causes pipes to freeze?

Pipes can freeze when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius).


What will happen to an inflated balloon if it is put in a refrigerator?

The volume of air inside the balloon will decrease as the temperature drops in the refrigerator, causing the balloon to slightly shrink. When the balloon is taken out of the refrigerator and warms up, the air inside will expand again and the balloon will return to its original size.
