Density is a measure of how much what is in a substance?
False. Density is the measure of the amount of mass an object has
True or false Density is a measure of how much heat there is in a volume of substance?
Density is a measure of the ratio between mass and volume displaced (d = m/V). Density IS inversely related to temperature, though not significantly. As a substance gains energy in the form of heat, it expands. It doesn't gain any mass, but it does increase in volume. So, as temperature rises, density does decrease slightly. The answer is true, but you need to take mass into account. You'd be wrong if you wrote d = temp/V
What happen to the density of a substance when you heat it?
Normally when you heat a substance its volume increases while mass stays the same. It may not be noticable but the density would decrease.
Is density is a measure of how much heat there is in a volume of a substance?
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a stationary fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." (Archimedes) And this is independent on the heat.
How can you change the overall density of an object?
In a simple way, since density = mass /volume, the density of an object can be changed by changing either mass or volume of an object .
What happens to mass when volume increases?
As the density of a substance increases the volume of a given mass of the substance decreases.
How can density be altered?
Heat or cool the substance will change it's physical state.
Is Temperature is a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?
Temperature is not a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance. It is the measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.
Does the density the mass or the volume decrease when heat is applied?
density
Can a substance's density ever change?
Yes. If you heat something up, its volume will usually increase, therefore its density will decrease. This is especially so in the case of gases; less for solids and liquids. Also, if you compress a gas, you will decrease its volume.
What item decrease when heat is applied density mass or volume?
Volume increased so density decreased
What increases as heat is applied to density?
volume
