You happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p = 7.43 g/cm³ when the temperature is To = 45.0 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T = 0.00 °C, does the density change? No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, p1. The coefficient of volume expansion for this piece of metal is ß = 8.43 x 10-s 1°°C.

1. People buying food in sealed bags at high elevation often notice that the bags are puffed up because the air inside has expanded. A bag of pretzels was packed at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 22.0 C. When opened at a summer picnic in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at a temperature of 32.0 C, the volume of air in the bag is 1.13 times its original volume. What is the pressure of the air P Santa Fe? = 0.079 Santa Fe X atm
