Density

Density of liquid 4 C=1.0 g/mL

Density of solid (ice) 0.9 g/mL

What factors can affect a materials density?

Temperature: Main affect for solids/liquids. Most expand when heated. This
increases the volume.
Since the mass stays the same, the density is reduced.
Pressure mainly affects gasses
Decrease in pressure make gasses less dense
Increase in pressure makes gasses more dense
Increase in dissolved solids increases density
Ex: Ocean salt water (3.35% salt) has a higher density than plain water.
