Best Answer

The density will decrease because the heated metal contracts and its particles slow down.

Yes, the density depends on the temperature; after heating the density is a bit lower.

How does the density of a 100-kg iron block compare with the density of an iron filing?

The density of iron is 7,874 kg/m3 or 7.874 g/cm3. The density of iron filing is somewhat lower depending upon how fine the filings are, but I guess more than 4000 kg/m3 or 4.0 g/cm3. The SI standard of density is measured in kg/m3. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The density of iron does not change with the size of the sample. A bucket full of iron filings will have a lower density than the block because there will be air between the individual filings. The density of a deep pile of filings will be greater than a thin pile because the weight of the filings above compacts the filings below by pushing out some of the air. However, the density of each individual piece will still be the same as for the whole block.
