No, 1 kg of lead will take up less space than 1 kg of polystyrene because lead is denser than polystyrene. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume, so lead, being denser, will occupy less volume compared to the same mass of polystyrene.

Does lead expand when heated?

Yes, lead does expand when heated. As its temperature increases, the atoms in lead vibrate more vigorously and take up more space, causing the material to expand. This property is known as thermal expansion.


What happens to a polystyrene cup when you throw it away?

When a polystyrene cup is thrown away, it can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill due to its non-biodegradable nature. This can lead to environmental pollution and harm to wildlife if not disposed of properly. Recycling or using alternative biodegradable materials can help reduce the negative impact of polystyrene cups on the environment.


Is expanded polystyrene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?

Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.


Why would 1kg of lead be less akward to carry around than 1kg of. feathers?

Lead is more dense and compact than feathers, so 1kg of lead would take up less space and would be easier to carry around in a smaller package. Feathers are lighter and bulkier, so they would occupy more space and be more awkward to carry.


Are polystyrene cup biodegradable?

Polystyrene cups are not biodegradable; they are made from plastic that can take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. Instead of breaking down naturally, polystyrene can fragment into smaller pieces, contributing to plastic pollution. While some recycling programs may accept polystyrene, many areas lack the facilities to process it, leading to increased environmental concerns. Alternatives, such as biodegradable or compostable cups, are available for more sustainable options.


Which has the most mass volume a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

A pound of feathers has more mass. The are lighter so they would take up more space to make a pound.


When water freezes does it take up more space or less space?

The water will expand on freezing, so taking up more space.


Can you recycle take away polystyrene burger containers?

All plastic can be recycled, but it is difficult to find a recycler willing and able to recycle polystyrene. Burger and food containers actually contain very little plastic (and a lot of air), and are often contaminated with food. There are companies that recycle polystyrene (styrofoam), but they will often only take fruit and vegetable crates.


115 grams is how many cups?

That depends on what you are measuring. A cup is a volume measure - i.e it's a "how much can I fit in this space" measure, whereas a gram is a weight measure and does not take into account how much room (i.e mass) the thing being weighed takes up. For example, 113 grams of light polystyrene packaging beads will take up far more volume than 113 grams of lead cookery weights will. This means that the 113 grams cannot be converted into cups without knowing what substance you are weighing/measuring.
