DevinInfinite density is a theoretical concept that describes a point of extreme compactness where the mass of an object is compressed into an infinitely small volume. It is often associated with black holes, where gravity is so strong that it causes matter to collapse into a singularity with infinite density at the center.

Does a black hole have infinite mass?
No, a black hole does not have infinite mass. Black holes have a finite mass, which is concentrated in a small volume, leading to their intense gravitational pull and the formation of an event horizon from which not even light can escape.
What is an area of infinite density that traps even light?
They are called Black Holes or singularities.
Can ever a star has infinite density to become a black hole?
This question is incoherent; please rephrase.
Is the density of a neutron greater than the density of a black hole?
no, a neutron has a finite volume and thus a finite density, the singularity of a black hole has zero volume and thus infinite density.Infinity >>>>> any finite value
Can specific heat of a substance be infinite?
No. The first law of thermodynamics implies that the energy of the universe is finite. As a consequence the specific heat of a substance - defined as H/m where H is enthalpy and m is mass. Either H would have to be infinite or m would have to be zero. If m is zero, then the ratio is meaningless because you don't have anything to assign the enthalpy to. H = U+PV. For H to be infinite either U (internal energy) has to be infinite - but we've already established that the 1st law says total energy of the universe is finite, so that's not the case - or PV is infinite. You aren't going to get P (pressure) to be infinite so V would have to be infinite, i.e. zero density - again, if density is zero, there is effectively nothing there. Since we've eliminated all possibilities for any of the necessary terms to be infinite, specific heat cannot be infinite.
