Does density change if the sample of the same matter is larger?

No density if a characteristic of matter. Density can vary with temperature and pressure, but a chunk of something twice the volume of another chunk of the same substance will weigh twice as much because the two chunks have the same density.

Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
When a physical change occurs in a sample of matter which is the matter that does not change?
composition
What measurement must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
Two measurements are needed - you must find its mass and its volume. Density is mass divided by volume.
What hapens to the density if both the volume and mass are doubled?
If you double the volume of a sample ... scoop up twice as much of it ... the mass of the sample always doubles. But the density of the substance doesn't change. Think about it: The density of some water out of my dog's water bowl is the same as the density of some water out of Lake Michigan.
What is the density of an almond?
I measured a density of 1.0663 g with a sample size of 50.
Is density a extensive property of a substance?
Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.
Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
Does the size of a sample change its density determination?
no
Does one ml have the same density of 15 liters?
Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.
When a physical change occurs in a sample of matter which is the matter that does not change?
composition
What information does density give us?
Density tells us how closely matter is packed in the sample.
Why density is the criteria for purity with respect to chemistry?
Mass and volume are extensive properties, which are dependent upon the size of the sample. A larger sample will have a greater mass and volume than a smaller sample. Density is an intensive property, which does not depend on the size of the sample. Density is a ratio of mass to volume, which does not vary with the size of the sample. The density of a larger sample will be the same as the density of a smaller sample.
What measures must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
in a mesureing cup
Does the density of a substance change depending on how much of it you have?
No. Density is an INTRINSIC property, and as such it does NOT depend on the size of the sample.
Why does the density of a substance not change with the sample size?
Density = mass / volume As sample size increases, both mass and volume increase in the same ratio.
How do you measure the density of a material?
-- Get a piece of the material. It doesn't matter what size it is. -- Measure the mass of the sample. -- Measure the volume of the sample. -- Divide the mass by the volume. The result is the density of the material.
