How can pressure change the density of solids liquids and gases?

Pressure can change the volume of all three (to varying degrees)
and density = mass (which doesn't change) divided by volume.

How is density related to the states of matter?
Solids have the highest density, followed by liquids and then gases.
Does air have a very low density?
Compared to liquids and solids, yes a very low density.
Why density at different depths change?
Because of the weight (pressure) of all the stuff above pressing down. For solids this results in hardly any change in volume, and for liquids just the same. But for gases, such as the atmosphere, it has a large effect so that at 100miles or so above the earth, air prsssure and therefore density is practically zero.
Does sound travel faster in liquids and solids than air?
Yes it does, due to molecular density.
Do liquids have high or low density?
Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.
How can you change the density?
Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.
Do solids and liquids change in size when taking the shape of its container?
No liquids and solids do not change size the volume, mass,density, and weight stay the same they just change shape.
How deos this change in volume affect the density of solids liquids and gasses?
A change in volume with a constant, unchanging Pressure and Temperature results in increased or decreased density, inversely dependent on increase or decrease in volume.
Does change in pressure affect the solubility of solids?
The solubility of solids and liquids show virtually no changes with pressure. However, solubility increases with pressure in the solubility of gases in liquids.
Does liquids have a higher density than solids?
no
Why liquids and solids are uncompressible?
because they are too dense. compressing a gas means increasing pressure, and so increasing the density
When comparing solids liquids and gases which phase generally has the greatest density?
Solids
Why do some solids and liquids float?
because of density
What is the change of Solids to liquids to solids again called?
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
What causes objects to float?
in relation to solids or liquids in liquids: Density. A lighter density compound/liquid will float in a heavier density liquid
How does the change in the volume affect the density of solids liquids and gases?
the change in volume affects the density of solids, liquids , and gases by when the volume of a liquid , solid . or gas expands the density changes.
What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?
they are compromised.
