Weight is a term used to refer to mass that is under the influence of gravity, of a gravimetric field. Volume is a term used to refer to the amount of space (the 3D kind) that an object, a "mass" takes up. The two are related by the term density. Density is the weight of a given substance that occupies a designated volume of space. Take a block of granite. You know, the rock. It's heavy. A block of it that is one cubic foot in volume weighs about 171.7 pounds. That's a lot, huh? Yup. It's heavy stuff. Dense stuff. It's density is about 171.7 pounds per cubic foot. (Yes, we averaged it out a bit, but no biggie.) If our block of granite weighs 171.7 pounds per cubic foot, it weighs about 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter. That's 2.75g/cc. See how we wrote it? It says the same thing. And, presto! we've got this nice little package, that 2.75g/cc, and now we can compare our granite to something else. You're ready to take on something we call specific gravity. Good luck. Not that you'll need it. You can handle it. It's a piece of cake.

∙ 13y agoThese two things are different things. True, the equation for density is p(density)=mass(m)/ volume(V), but that means that they are just sometimes related. But I don't understand what you mean by "does weight have a volume?" Weight is the gravitational pull and is measured in newtons. Volume is how much space is in a 3D object. Try wikipedia, it helps. :)

Does the volume of water change the density of water?
Density = mass / volume. So if the volume changes, the density will obviously also change.
When copper sulfate is added to water it .......to form a?
Why does copper sulfate change its colour when water is added
Does the pH of ethanol change if water is added?
It should change
Does the volume of water affect the temperature rise in the reaction of calcium oxide and water?
If the volume of water increases the tempreture change will also increase.
Why does it not matter how much water you add when dissolving the acid or when carrying the titration?
The titration equivalence point occurs when the acid present in the sample has been exactly neutralized by the volume of base added. Additional water added to the reaction vessel has no effect on the volume of base added.
Why does the volume change when added to water?
this is because water is having its own volume.
When does volume change?
when more mass is added
What would the final volume of water be in a graduated cylinder if 0.740 cm3 of silver pellets were added to 11.2 mL of water?
The volume occupied by water will not change, it will remain 11.2cm3 (1ml =1cm3). However, the final volume level will be 11.94cm3, since the silver pellets will displace the same volume of water that it occupies.
When sugar dissolve in water there is no change in volume?
Yes there is a change in volume.
Does the volume of water change the density of water?
Density = mass / volume. So if the volume changes, the density will obviously also change.
Will water volume be increased by adding salt?
Yes , the volume of water will increase if salt is added , as salt is a solute and water is a solvent. When salt is added , it affects the weight of molecules and the liquid itself.
Does water keep its volume?
In general, yes, but lots of things may cause its volume to change. The volume will change if temperature or pressure change, or if something dissolves in the water. Volume may also decrease by evaporation.
How does freezing water affect the volume and mass of water?
The volume increase, mass does not change.
Why does the volume expand when heat is added to water?
Because the water molecules moves faster when heated and therefore, the volume expands.
When 3g of sugar is dissolved in liter of water what happens to the volume of water?
Nothing. The main concept of dissolving something is that it does NOT add to the volume of the liquid. You can just keep chucking the sugar into the water and the volume will not change (the weight WILL!). ...At least not until you have added over 91g, then no more will dissolve at all. If you keep adding sugar, it will float about and collect at the bottom and the volume will increase with every grain added. It's 91g because Glucose (I assume this is the sugar you refer to) has a water solubility of 91g per litre.
Does water change volume in cantaine?
Yes.
The change in an objects volume that occurs when heat is added is called?
thermal expansion
