Typically, a lower temperature denotes higher density, but many LIQUIDS are uncompressible (water actually expands slightly as it freezes) and therefore density in maintained. FLUIDS on the other hand encompass both liquids and gasses, of which gasses ARE compressible and will increase in density as temperature drops.

What density difference is there with liquid chlorine at different temperatures?

density difference is decreasing when the temperature rises with liquid chlorine.


How does decreasing the temperature affect the value of a gas?

Generally speaking - if you lower the temperature of a gas, it becomes more dense. If the temperature is lowered sufficiently it will start to condense into a liquid.


Would decreasing the amount of liquid to determine density change the outcome?

No, the amount of a liquid is volume. Density is independent of volume.


What has a effect on water density?

Density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to the temperature. When the temperature raises, the density of the liquid decreases. Therefor the temperature has an effect on water density.


Is the density of gas similar to that of a liquid?

No, a pure liquid at normal temperature has a constant density while the density of a gas depends upon temperature and pressure.


Does the amount of a specific liquid you have affect the density of the liquid?

no


Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.


To change or cause to change from liquid to solid state?

Decreasing the temperature a liquid become a solid.


Why does raising the temperature cause liquid to boil?

Decreasing the pressure -APEX


What are the factors that affect viscosity?

Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.


What affect liquid density?

Pressure and Temperature will affect volume and thus also density. However the effect is much smaller than on gases (about 100-1000 times), it is mostly a bit bigger than the effect on solids.


What factors affect hydrostatic pressure?

depth of liquid and density of the liquid
