Imagine you have a piece of Styrofoam Suppose you squeezed this Styrofoam hardenough to change its shape Briefly describe how this compression would affect its mass volume and density?

Its mass is constant because no mass is being added to or removed from it.
Its volume will decrease because it was compressed into a smaller size.
Density is mass divided by volume, so it's change will relate to the fraction:
mass (constant) / volume (decreasing)
... so since the volume (in the denominator) is decreasing, the fraction overall is increasing, so density will increase.

Are rarefactions and compressions types of sound waves?
Compression, which is the "squeezing" together of molecules, and rarefaction, which is the expansion of the "squeezed" molecules back toward their original position, is the oscillatory behavior that causes sound waves. Individually, they are not types of sound waves, because for any wave you need both a disrupting force and a restoring force oscillating between each other.
