Yes.

Almost all substances are less dense in their liquid form than their solids, as the solid structure is more closely packed.

Water is the exception to this, hence ice floats.

What is the effect of temperature on volume?

As temperature increases, the volume of a substance typically increases due to the particles moving more rapidly and spreading out. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law equation, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional for ideal gases.


What happens to volume as pressure goes up?

According to the state equation pv=nrt p=pressure v=volume n=number of moles r=gas constant t=temperature. p and v are inversely proportional; as p increases, v decreases, as v increases, p decreases.


How the process of measuring the volume of a liquid different from the process of measuring the volume of a solid?

Because liquid and solid are two different things


How does Temperature increase with compression?

Kinetic theory in chemistry describes the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure; if you increase temperature, the pressure or volume will increase, if you decrease volume or increase pressure, temperature will increase. The theory examines the nature of an elastic gas with atoms or molecules moving around within a container colliding with each other and with the walls of the container; temperature is a measure of the collective average random kinetic energy, expressed both in mass and speed (rotation, translation, and vibration). It describes that as you compress the substance (decrease the volume), the density of its component molecules increases and the frequency with which they collide with the walls increases, hence the temperature (and/or pressure) goes up.


What happens when a gas is compressed keeping the temperature constant?

If pressure is held constant, volume and temperature are directly proportional. That is, as long as pressure is constant, if volume goes up so does temperature, if temperature goes down so does volume. This follows the model V1/T1=V2/T2, with V1 as initial volume, T1 as initial temperature, V2 as final volume, and T2 as final temperature.

Why does density decrease when volume increases?

When volume increases while mass remains constant, density decreases because the same amount of mass is spread over a larger space. The relationship between density, mass, and volume is given by the formula density = mass/volume, so an increase in volume without a corresponding increase in mass leads to a decrease in density.


What does inversely and directly proportional mean?

Inversely proportional means that one variable goes up while the other goes down. Directly proportional means that both variables increase or decrease at the same time. ex: The volume of a gas at constant pressure is inversely proportional to gas pressure, thus this means that as pressure increases, the volume of the gas will decrease. ex: The volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to absolute pressure, thus this means that when you heat a gas the volume also increases.

Does volume change when substance changes states?

Yes. Usually when a substance freezes, or becomes a solid, it will decrease in volume, causing an increase in density. Water is an exception, which is less dense when it freezes/becomes solid.
