Give an example of a substance that is MORE dense in its solid state when compared to its liquid state.
1 answer:
Answer: Wax
Explanation:
Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.
Usually solids are more denser than liquid, as molecules in solid are more strongly packed and thus have more mass per unit volume.
Liquids on the other hand contain molecules which are less tightly bound and thus thus contain less mass per unit volume as compared to solid.
Example: Solid wax is more denser than liquid wax.

Answer:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since molarity is mathematically defined as the moles of solute divided by the volume of solution and the weight/weight percent as the mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, we need:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
For instance, if a 1-M solution of HCl has a density of 1.125 g/mL, we can compute the w/w% as follows:
Whereas the first factor corresponds to the molar mass of HCl, the second one the conversion from L to mL of solution and the third one the density to express in terms of grams of solution.
Regards.
