Yes you can! Lets take a balloon for example. Low mass, but filled up with air it takes up space. Now, lets say instead of air, you filled the balloon with water. The water balloon's mass would be higher than the balloon filled with air, even though the volume may stay the same. Answer: Yes but it really depends on kind of matterial you are talking about. For solids and liquids its difficult but not impossible. Their density varies very little depending on the envitomental conditions. The density of a gas on the other hand varies greatly depending on its temperature. So if you remove a gram of gas the volume will decrease the coresponding ammount but if you heat that remaining gas you can return the volume back to its original size.

∙ 14y agoYes. In terms of chemistry, when a liquid becomes a gas the volume of the gas is equal to the container volume while the mass of the gas does not change. Mass will never change unless more moles are added.

If you stay on the earth and change your mass, your weight changes.
If you stay on the moon and change your mass, your weight changes.
If you move from the earth to the moon and don't change your mass, your weight changes.

∙ 11y agoMass is in a sense independent of volume. In the sense that something of the same mass as something else will often have a different volume.
They are linked together by density, which is mass divided by volume.

How could you change the volume of an object without changing the mass?

Does changing the mass or volume of an object change it's density?
Yes if the both are not changed proportionately, Density = mass/volume.
What will change the density of an object?
Either a decrease or increase in temperature will change the density of an object.

How can you change the mass of a completely filled solid without changing its volume or shape?
density
How can you change density of a substance?
You can change the density of a substance by changing its volume. Density is equivalent to mass over volume. So changing the volume affects density.
What is another way to say changing mass and volume?
changing mass and volume
The volume of air change without changing its mass why?
No. If the volume of air changes, so will its mass.
Does changing the mass or volume of an object change it's density?
Yes if the both are not changed proportionately, Density = mass/volume.
Will changing the volume of a container filled with gas change the mass of the gas?
No
How do you change an object's density?
You have two choices: -- Somehow increase or decrease its mass without changing its volume. This is quite difficult. -- Somehow either expand it into a greater volume or squeeze it into a smaller one, without changing its mass in either case. This is easy to do if the object happens to be a sample of a gas.
What property of matter that can be observed and measured without changing its identity is a?
mass and volume
Does changing the volume of water chang the density?
Density = mass / volume. So if the volume changes, the density will obviously also change.
What would a person do to make an object less dense without changing mass?
Since density is mass / volume, the other alternative is to increase the volume.
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
