By Density Or Volume?
a: Heat capacity ~
b: modulus or melting point
What: "Heat capacity is like modulus or melting point - it depends on the stiffness and strength of atomic bonds. There's not much you can do about these, so the heat capacity per unit weight, , for a given material, is beyond control. The heat capacity per unit volume, , on the other hand can be reduced just by changing the density - by making a porous or foam-like structure - useful when you want a structure that will heat up or cool down quickly."

b: promise
What: "Common in appearance and narrow in use, it's worth a mention, although its usage demands the entire sentence being structured around it. A colon is like a promise-- what was spoken of before is about to come, so you'd better get ready!"
