Which item decreases as heat is applied?

Volume is increased so density is decreased.


What happen to the density of a substance when you heat it?

Normally when you heat a substance its volume increases while mass stays the same. It may not be noticable but the density would decrease.


Can a substance's density ever change?

Yes. If you heat something up, its volume will usually increase, therefore its density will decrease. This is especially so in the case of gases; less for solids and liquids. Also, if you compress a gas, you will decrease its volume.


What happens if you take away heat from a gas?

If a gas was removed from all heat sources, it would turn into a liquid and possibly freeze depending on how cold you were able to get it. Heat causes the gas molecules to vibrate which ultimately leads to an increase in volume and a decrease in density. Reduction of heat causes the molecules to vibrate less which leads to a decrease in volume and an increase in density.
