Answer the following question: Given the background: The "concentration" of a solid is essentially another way of measuring its density. A certain number of moles are present for a given volume of the solid, and this value does not depend on how much of the solid is present. As the reaction proceeds, the amount of solid reactant will decrease, but so will the volume it occupies. A similar argument can be made for liquids. As a result, the concentrations of solids and liquids are essentially constant over the course of a reaction. and the situation: Cindy has a ball of iron. She measures its density then drops it in a vat of hydrochloric acid. Ashe then removes the irom from the acid noting that the acid ate away as a good potion of the iron. To her suprise however the density of the iron remained constant. Answer the following question: Will a solids density decrease or stay constant when some of it reacts to a chemical?
Answer:
constant
