How is volume and density affected when the temperature is decreased?

In general when temperature is decreased the volume decreases and the density increases. This is not true for water around freezingg temperatures, the volume increases and the density decreases and ice floats.

∙ 7y agoThe effect of temperature on volume is variable, depending on if you are talking about gases or liquids, and within liquids, it is also variable depending on which liquid. So, for gases, as the temperature decreases, the volume will decrease also, as long as the pressure remains constant. For most liquids, as the temperature decreases, the volume also decreases, but with water, as the temperature decreases, the volume increases (ice occupies more volume than does liquid water).

How is density affected if the volume of an object increases but its mass stays the same?
Density gets decreased as D = M / V Density and Volume are inversely related.
What item decrease when heat is applied density mass or volume?
Volume increased so density decreased
What happens to density when volume or mass is affected?
Density = Mass / Volume Therefore: Increase in Mass --> Increase in Density Increase in Volume --> Decrease in Density and Vice Versa.. :) Hope this helped
Is temperature the only thing that affects density?
It is the easiest way to affect the volume which would change the density. However, if you increase the pressure but keep temperature constant the volume will also change. Any change in volume affects density.
Volume and pressure are held constant why does the hot air balloon rise and fall?
Although volume and pressure are held constant, some of the gas escapes from the bottom of the balloon, thus decreasing the mass of the gas in the balloon. If mass is decreased, then density is also decreased because density=mass/volume. Such a decrease in density of the balloon causes it rise.

What happens to density if an objects volume remains constant but its volume is decreased?
If an object's volume remains constant but its volume is decreased,its density becomes ambiguous and mutually inconclusive.
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.
If the temperature of a gas in a movable piston is decreased what will happen to the density of the gas?
It will increase. Density is mass/volume. Mass remains constant since no matter is entering or escaping. Lowering the temperature decreases the volume. Same mass in a smaller space= increased density.
What item decrease when heat is applied density mass or volume?
Volume increased so density decreased
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
In a closed containerwhat effects does pressure have on a gas volume and density?
The gas pressure in a closed container increases with volume and increased temperature. Likewise, the pressure will decrease with decreased temperature.
How do you find mass when given volume temperature and heat capacity?
This question requires density to answer. Density is a ratio of mass to volume, and is dependent on temperature. Materials do have variable density based on temperature. The equation for density is mass/volume.
What happens to the volume of a gas - if the temperature is decreased?
It decreases.
What happens if mass is decreased and volume remains constant?
The density will decrease
What does mass density and volume mean?
An object has a mass, say M It also has a volume, say V A useful relation between the above two is the ratio M/V which is defined as the density of the object. It is the mass of an object whose volume is unity. In solids and liquids, the density remains constant over temperature ranges and pressure ranges. But in gases the density is affected by temperature and pressure.
