What is the difference of relative density and density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
How does the volume and density of a substance change when it is heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated, causing a decrease in density.
what is the amount of mass given in a given volume of air?
Density of substance = mass of substance / volume mass of substance = density x volume
What would you use to measure density?
The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. So, I would measure the mass and volume of a substance to calculate density.
How do you use properties of matter to determine density?
Density equals mass divided by volume. So you use mass and volume to determine density.
How could density be used to determine the mass of particular volume of a substance?
In a set volume of any substance increasing the density increases its mass
How do you determine the identity of an unknown substance by observing its mass and volume?
All you can do with mass and volume is to determine the density of the substance. density = mass / volume or p=m/v after you determine the density, you can look on any density table and find the substance you are looking for. good look. -julio
Why do scientist measure mass and volume?
So they can determine the density of a substance. Density = mass/volume. Density can be used to identify a substance.
What does the density of a substance determine?
It determines the mass of the substance per unit volume.
What does a density of a substance determine?
It determines the mass of the substance per unit volume.
How can you determine the density of a substance?
Use the formula density = mass divided by volume.
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
How do you get the relative density of a substance?
Weigh it to determine the mass, then determine how much volume it displaces (in something it does not dissolve in). Divide mass by volume, you've got density.
Does changing the volume of a particular substance change its mass to volume ratio?
mass to volume ratio is nothing but density density is inversely proportional to volume hence if volume decreases density will increase and vice-versa
How do you calculate the density of a substance?
Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.
If you have a mass of 15.375g you determine that the volume by displacement to be 5.13mL what is the density of the substance?
The density of this mass is about 3 g/mL
What measurements must be known in order to find the density of a substance?
To find the density of a substance, you need to know its mass and its volume. The mass is usually measured in grams or kilograms, while the volume can be measured in cubic centimeters or milliliters for solid objects, or in liters for liquids. By dividing the mass by the volume, you can calculate the density of the substance.
