which density/temperature statement is correct

B. the density of freshwater remains constant as temperature decreases

C. the density of saline (salty) water increases as temperature decreases

D. the density of saline (salty) water increases as temperature increases

D is the correct answer, because as temperature increases, the density also increases. That’s why ice floats in water. It is less dense than hot water. Hope this helps:))

The mass, size, and arrangement of the atoms determine and affect the density. The density of saline water increases as temperature decreases. Thus, option C is correct.

What is the relationship between density and temperature?

Density and temperature are inversely proportional to each other and can be given by the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

P = ρRT

ρ ∝ 1 / T

With a decrease in the temperature the density of the saline water increases and vice versa.

Therefore, the density increase in the saline water when the temperature is decreased.
