A characteristic that depend upon the amount of matter in the sample is called?
That would be mass.
Why mass is an example of extrinsic property?
Mass is an example of an extrinsic property, because an extrinsic property is one that varies with and depends on the size and amount of the sample. Obviously, the more of the sample you have, the greater will be the mass. Thus, mass is an extrinsic property. Compare this to density. It doesn't matter how much of the sample you have, the density will be the same. Density is an intrinsic property.
What is the mass (by difference) of a sample if the initial mass of the sample in the bottle was 28.81-g and the final mass of the bottle and sample was 21.33-g?
7.48
What measurement must you make to find density of a sample of matter?
Two measurements are needed - you must find its mass and its volume. Density is mass divided by volume.
The volume of a sample of water is 20cm3 the mass of?
The volume of a sample of water is 20 cm3. The mass of this sample is closest to
Why cant mass used as a property to identify a sample of matter?
Mass is an extensive property, which depends only on the amount of matter in the sample, not on the composition of the sample.
How can the mass of a coin be decreased?
You cant, the mass will always be the same, NO matter what.
What is measured by how much matter it contains?
Mass measures the amount of matter in a sample.
What two properties can be measured for any sample of matter?
Mass
A measure of amount of matter?
Mass is the amount of matter in a sample of a substance. Mass translates directly to how much matter is in something, in other words, how many atoms are crammed into it.
What property like volume depends of the size of the sample?
The volume and the mass of sample both depend on the size of the sample.A small sample has small volume and small mass, a big sample has big volumeand big mass. But the ratio of mass to volume is constant for a pure sample ofa substance, no matter what size the sample is. That ratio is called the densityof the substance.
A characteristic that depend upon the amount of matter in the sample is called?
That would be mass.
What measure mass?
The amount of matter in something. Alternatively, it measures the number of particles in a sample.
If you had a lead sample that was double the mass of the sinker you used in the investigation what would be the heat capacity of the heavier sample?
It would be the same. The Cp of the lead never changes, no matter the mass.
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.
If you place all the matter from a large box to a small box what did you decrease mass or volume?
You have decreased the volume
