Can a small object have more density than a large object?

Yes, a small object can have more density than a large object if the small object has more mass compared to its volume. Density is calculated as mass per unit volume, so an object with greater mass and smaller volume will have higher density.


What tool best measures the density of a small piece of silver ore?

A precision balance would be the best tool to measure the density of a small piece of silver ore. Weigh the sample accurately on the balance, then calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the sample.


What is the density of 100 degrees Celsius?

The density of a substance at 100 degrees Celsius would depend on the specific substance. Generally, as temperature increases, the density of most substances decreases due to expansion of the material. It's best to look up the specific density of the substance at that temperature for an accurate value.


Which statement best compares the density among the three states of matter?

In general, the solid state has the highest density due to the closely packed arrangement of particles. Liquids have a lower density compared to solids because particles are more spread out. Gases have the lowest density as their particles are far apart and can move freely.


How would density affect thermal energy?

All substances have a so called Specific Heat which defines the thermal energy possessed relative to water, which has 1 calorie per gram per degC.So it is the mass of the sample of the material that determines its thermal energy content, not its density.
