A solid is cooled to a very low temperature. Assuming the mass remains constant, how, if at all, does this affect the density of the solid?

when a solid is cooled, its molecules slow down n vibrate less. usually its volume will decrease. as the mass remains constant and density = mass/volume, density will decrease.

it is making a new form so the density would be the same because water becoming into ice a solid are the same thing.
