upon heating a copper sample will expand, leading to a lower density
Explanation;
-The density of solids decreased with increase in temperature and vice versa. The increase in temperature causes the volume of the solid to increase which as a result decreases the density as Density=Mass/Volume. The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it.
In other words; The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it. Therefore; when heat is supplied ( or temperature is increased) the average kinetic energy increases which increases the volume and thus density decreases.
Very true. The quicker or slower the reactants are used up the faster or slower the rate of reaction, and the faster or slower the products are formed, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.
