answer:

When you increase the temperature of a substance its volume increases.(This is also known as Charles law~> T and V are directly correlated)

When the substances volume increases its density decreases.

Density:Mass/Volume

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

As the temperature increase, density decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the temperature increases, the volume of a substance increase. The substance expands. The inter-molecular distance increases.

The volume and density are inversely related.


\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}

As the volume increases, density decreases.

Thus, with increase in temperature, the density decreases.
