Why is a mass loss method more accurate than collecting gas?
The mass loss method is more accurate because every unit of the substance that has been subject to reaction is measured. Collecting gas leaves a mass of the substance between the liquid and the gas collection apparatus.
Why is glycerol heavier than ethylene glycol?
For the same reason a lion weighs more than a cat: there is more mass involved.
Why can mass or weight not be used to identifiy a substance?
Mass has to do with the amount of substance, along with the actual material property (like density).Suppose you have a sheet of paper and sheet of aluminum foil, which appear to be the same size (area). The aluminum is much denser than paper, but depending on the thickness you could have it where they both have the same mass. What you need is an identical volume of the substances, then compare the mass of those and from that calculate density, which is a property of the substance.I hope this example helps.
What is the density of a substance of mass 100g and volume 10 centimeter cube?
10 grams/ cc. That is 10 times more dense than water.
Why is Substance B more viscous than substance A?

How do you determine if a substance is more dense or less dence?
Density is measured and expressed as the mass to volume ratio. To determine what the density of a substance you measure its mass and divide that number by its measured volume (or you can look up the density based on what composes it). Then, using the same units, do the same for another substance. The substance with the larger number is more dense, has more mass per volume, than the substance with the lower number, and the same in reverse with respect to less density.
What is a substance whose matter is more tightly packed than other another substance have a greater density or mass?
Mass
Does a quart or liter have a bigger mass?
A liter has slightly more VOLUME than a quart. It will also have more mass, if you are talking about the same substance in both cases. Otherwise, results may vary.
Does solids have more mass than liquids and gases?
No. Changes of state are physical changes in science. According to the law of conservation of mass, mass is neither created nor destroyed during physical or chemical changes (because atoms are not lost or gained.) Therefore, the solid form of one substance does not have more mass than the same substance in liquid or gas form.
Which has the greater mass 1 L gold or 1 L water?
Gold.Explanation: Gold has a higher density than water.This means, the value of Mass/volume for gold is more than that of water.Here, the volume is same for both the substances. Then, for the density to vary, the mass should vary because volume is the same. As gold as a higher density, it has more mass than water for the same volume of the substance.
What does it mean when one object is more dense than another?
If one substance is denser than another, it means that a certain volume of the first substance weight more (or more precisely, has more mass) than the same volume of the second substance. Density is typicall measured in grams / cubic cm, or kilograms per cubic meter.
What is meant by the density of a substance?
It means how much a standard volume of a substance weighs - or more precisely, how much mass it has. If a liter of one substance has more mass than a liter of another substance, the first substance is said to have greater density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
If a substance is floating does it have more or less mass?
mass of a substance is constant at any place in the universe.the reason for floating is its density is less than density of medium in which it is floating
What is the relationship between the mass of an object and it overall size?
No direct relationship. There are small cotton balls that have less mass than battleships,and there are large blocks of styrofoam that have less mass than small stones.All you can say for sure is that if you have two chunks of the same substance,then the larger one has more mass.
Is the molar mass a fixed quantity for a particular substance?
For most purposes, the molar mass of any particular substance remains the same. However to be precise I will note that there are isotopic variations which can affect molar mass. In other words, it is normally expected that a given substance will have a certain mixture of isotopes giving a certain mass, but a substance obtained from one source might have a different isotope ratio than the same substance obtained from a different source.
Why are average summer temperatures in the southern hemisphere cooler than average summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere?
Probably because the southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere. It takes more heat to raise a given mass of water a certain number of degrees than to raise the same mass of any other substance the same number of degrees.
What is the smallest part of a substance made from more than one atom that stilll has the same proerties of the substance is a?
It is a molecule.
