Question
As a solid substance is heated, its volume increases but its mass remains the same. Sketch a graph of density versus temperature showing the trend you expect. Briefly explain.
Step 1
Density is defined as mass divided by volume (Density = Mass/Volume). As a solid substance is heated, its volume increases while its mass remains constant. Show more…

How would the shape of the curve in Figure $15.21$ differ if density rather than volume were plotted against temperature? Make a rough sketch.
III. Temperature vs. Pressure graph (vary the pressure, measure temperature, keep volume constant) Explain your reasoning for the graph's appearance IV. Number of particles vs. Volume (vary the volume, measure the number of particles, keep pressure constant) Explain your reasoning for the graph's appearance
Water is put into a beaker and heated with a Bunsen burner. The temperature of the water, initially at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, is monitored. Explain what happens to the temperature as a function of time. Make a sketch of how the temperature might change with time. (Assume that the Bunsen burner is hot enough to heat the water to its boiling point.)
