decreases

If the temperature of a sample of water at 0°C is slightly increased, its volume remains the same. increases. decreases.

decreases

Aluminum has a higher specific heat capacity than iron. This means that for equal masses of aluminum and iron, the metal that heats more quickly when the same amount of heat is applied is aluminum. iron. need more information

iron

Which of the following normally warms up fastest when heat is applied? glass water iron wood all of the above

iron

ice has a lower density than water because ice molecules vibrate at lower rates than water molecules. molecules are more compact in the solid state. density decreases with decreasing temperature. is composed of open-structured crystals.

is composed of open structure crystals
