When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid its density normally decreases. What is happening to the substance's mass and volume to cause this decrease in density?

A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.

Would a substance that decreases membrane permeability to sodium increase or decrease the generating of a nerve impulse?
Decrease
What happends to the boiling point of a substance when pressure above it decreases?
The boiling point will also decrease in this case.
What happens to enthalpy when temperature is decreased?
the atoms (or molecules) within the substance move slower, as temperature decreases.
When citric acid is added will the pH increase or decrease?
When citric acid is added, or any acid for that matter, the pH of a substance will decrease. This is because since acids have a low pH they will decrease the pH of other substances when added to it.
Does epinephrine increase or decrease peristalsis?
decreases it
What is happening to the substances mass and volume to cause this decrease in density?
A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.
What abnormal substance will decrease due to evaporation?
The mass of all substances decrease by evaporation.
Would a substance that decreases membrane permeability to sodium increase or decrease the generating of a nerve impulse?
Decrease
Why does the rate of chemical reaction decrease over time?
Because radioactive substances have half lives. This decreases the radioactivity in the substance.
Why does the density of liquid increase as it cools?
As something cools down, the kinetic energy of its molecules decrease. This corresponds to a decrease in volume occupied of the substance, so the density decreases.
What happends to the boiling point of a substance when pressure above it decreases?
The boiling point will also decrease in this case.
What decreases an asset and liability?
Decrease in asset means being using of it decreases and liability decrease means payable of debts decreases.
What are some ways the density of a substance can be increased and decreased?
The increase in concentration increases the density and decrease causes the decrease in density.
What happens to enthalpy when temperature is decreased?
the atoms (or molecules) within the substance move slower, as temperature decreases.
What happens when the temperature of lava increases?
Its viscosity decreases, which allows it to flow easier.
How do you decrease an asset and decrease owners equity?
Credit Decreases an Asset and Debit decreases Owners Equity.
How is viscosity related to flow rate?
Viscosity is a substances resistance to flow. So as the viscosity of a substance increases, the flow rate will decrease.
