Is the density of gaseous substance likely to be larger or smaller then the density of liquid or solid substance at the same temperature and why?

Temperature in this instance will not affect density, but rather pressure. The density of the gas will be much smaller than the density of a liquid or solid of the same chemical because it is a gas. The formula for density is mass over volume, and a gas has no measurable mass, making the gas always less dense than the liquid and the solid.

When a substance has a high density a large mass fits into?
Into a smaller volume.
How does upthrust vary liquid of different densities?
if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust
What occurs when the same amount of matter occupies a smaller amount of space?
mass is the quantity of material in a substance, and volume is the space occupied. The density of a material is its mass (weight) per unit volume. Grams per cubic centimetre would be an example.
What is the density for a tornado?
A tornado is made almost entirely of air, with smaller amounts of water, dust and debris. Since air is compressible, a tornado will vary in density depending on temperature, elevation, ambient pressure, and the intensity of the tornado. Generally, density would be between 800 and 1,200 kg/m^3.
How Mass and volume can affect the density of the volume?
The definition of density is mass per unit volume. For any object or sample of a substance, it can be calculated as (mass) divided by (volume). If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density. If two objects or samples with the same mass have different volumes, the one with the greater volume has smaller density.
What is the volume of a mass of 68 grams?
The answer to that depends on the density of the substance in question.For instance the volume of 68 grams of Lead would be smaller than the volume of an equivalent mass of gaseous hydrogen.
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.
When a substance has a high density a large mass fits into?
Into a smaller volume.
What makes fire smaller?
temperature and the amount of oxygen. it depends on what kind of flame it is, like if its a gaseous flame or wood flame.
Is density of 2 mL of water smaller of larger than 1 mL of water?
The density of any substance remains the sameirrespective of its volume.
How does upthrust vary liquid of different densities?
if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust
If the temperature of a gas in a movable piston is decreased what will happen to the density of the gas?
It will increase. Density is mass/volume. Mass remains constant since no matter is entering or escaping. Lowering the temperature decreases the volume. Same mass in a smaller space= increased density.
What is the main idea of density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. It indicates how closely packed the particles are in a material. Objects with higher density have more mass packed into a smaller volume than objects with lower density.
Density is a measure of how much what is in a substance?
False. Density is the measure of the amount of mass an object has
What is density of sodium silicate?
The density of sodium is rho = 968 kg/m3 or rho = 0.968 g/cm3.
When measuring the density of a substance why would it be important to record the temperature of the substance?
Density is dependent on temperature. Because there is no device which can measure density directly, temperature is used in the measure for density. Basically temperature, volume, and pressure are directly linked. Any change in one, immediately and directly affects the other two. Density is one of the results of the combination of all 3. Every material has a density. An object made of wood, steel, caking icing, vegetables, etc. Each material has a specific molecular pattern. The molecules are moving around inside the material. Because these molecules are attracted to each other, the material can exist without falling apart. Even water, is still water when is splashes on the ground. After the splash, there are simply many smaller pieces of water scattered around. Density is how tightly these molecules are attracted to each other, and they create a specific volume. Pressure can be thought of the speed at which each molecule inside the material moving. Finally, temperature can be thought of as the energy behind the motion. As temperature changes, the molecule either loses or gains energy. The change in energy means faster motion. Therefore, because the volume is not 100% contained, it increases as the pressure increases until equilibrium. As pressure and volume change, density changes because density is a given pressure at a given volume at a given temperature for a given material.
What is the effect of temperature and salinity on the density of water?
This is a simple one. # Density is mass divided by volume. # Heat increase causes increase in volume. # Therefore, as mass is constant and volume is increasing, the density will drop. Hope that helps!
