Temperature: Liquid water is densest at about 4 degrees Celsius. Heat it above or below that and it expands.

State: Perhaps a sub-category of temperature, but gaseous water has a much lower density than either ice or liquid water.

Pressure: A very small increase in density can be seen by pressurising liquid water, and a very great increase by compressing water vapour.

Impurities: The presence of other particles, solvents or living matter in liquid water, ice or vapour has an effect on the sample's density (although this is not really an effect on the water's density by the strictest definition)

Is the density of 8 mL of water greater than equal to or smaller than the density of 4 mL of water?

It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.


A cup of water with cut in the bottom will leak because the water is heavier than the cup?

No, it does not depend upon density, it is due to liquid nature of water which has a tendency to flow due to gravitational force.

yes


Why does needle sinks in water?

As we know that the ratio of the density to the volume is inverse relation. As the volume of the object is lesser, than the density will be greater.So the condition of floating bodies depend upon the weight of the displaced liquid.If the object(needle) is denser,so it will not be able to displace more liquid.Therefore needle sinks in water.

As someone goes dives deeper in a ocean they have more PSI acting upon them If this ocean was mercury would the same pressure be greater or less?

Pressure in a fluid at a certain depth H is proportional to the density of the fluid. Since Mercury has a much higher density then water it will exert a much larger pressure at the same depth.


Does water have a definite boiling point?

no it is depend upon concentration of impurity.


What happens if the density increases?

Density is a characteristic of a given material. Water, for example, has a certain density (which is somewhat dependent upon temperature but let's say that the temperature is constant). It does not matter how much water you have, it will all have the same density. One teaspoon has much less mass, but the same density as an entire ocean.


What is the mass of 100 milliliters of lead in grams?

The mass of the lead will depend upon the density of the lead which depends upon the temperature of the lead. Assuming near room temperature the density of lead is 11.34 g/ml. density = mass / volume → mass = volume × density = 100 ml × 11.34 g/ml = 1134 g.
