(1): A wooden block is floating on a liquid. when the temperature of the liquid is increased the volume of the block immersed in the liquid increases.
(2): As temperature increases, the density of liquid decreases.
Assertion
The density of liquids and gases decreases with the rise in temperature.
Reason
With the rise in temperature, the volume of the gases or liquids increases, but not mass. As density is mass per unit volume, therefore, with the increase in volume the density decreases.
When a liquid is heated its density __________ (decreases / increases / remains the same).
