They can be made of different atoms, different masses of the atoms, different sizes of the atoms.

Mercury atoms are very small, and very heavy. Bromine atoms are larger and lighter.

For molecular substance another factor becomes important. Who well the molecules fit together, How much empty space is still there between the molecules because of how the can pack together.

Water molecules pack very well together. Gasoline molecules do not pack as well. The molecules of gasoline are larger and more complex, but the density is less than water because of how much better water molecules pack together.

Well, depending on the temperature, water can become water vapor, a gas. Thus, it is much less dense.

it has 2 different densities because some are regular and salt water mix together and that makes it have 2 different densities

Water can have different densities when it changes it phase of matter. Ice is less dense than water, since the water molecules are more spread out.

Could different air masses have different densities?

Yes, that is possible.


Why different gasses could have a different densities?

-- The pressure on them could be different. -- Their temperatures could be different. -- They could be comprised of atoms or molecules with different weights.


How many pounds would fit into a gallon jug?

One gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. So, if you were putting water into the gallon jug, you could put 8 pounds of water in it. Different liquids will have different densities, and therefore be quite different in weight.


How can you separate substances of different densities?

Density Column to Separate Mixtures of SolidsYou could use a density column to separate mixtures of different solids by adding substances that have different densities. Then you would add in the solids, which would land or stop at a substance.


Can two unidentified liquids with different densities be the same liquid?

It depends how you mean when you are asking... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically. However... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter. So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.


What method could you use to separate 2 things that have different densities?

A centrifuge.


Vinegar and water are both clear liquids at room temperature what properties could you use to tell them apart?

You could find the densities of the liquids, and perform other simple tests such as the odor, and if you still can tell them apart, test the solubility of sugar in each liquid.


Why does liquids have any form?

Liquids have different forms because when they get above a certain temperature the could boil or freeze.


Why are both mass and volume often measured in chemistry investigations?

Because different substances have different densities. For example, if you knew a reaction produced a gas, you could work out what volume this would be, and you could design your apparatus to prevent any pressure build-up. Also, sometimes it is easier to measure liquids by volume in a measuring cylinder or pipette than it would be to put them on a weighing machine. For example, some liquids are unstable when exposed to air, and so it is easiest to measure them by syringe.


What are teat pipette used for in science?

My son has just started doing science this year and his teacher asked him to make a chart with some of the apparatus used in science. Could you be so kind and tell me what a teat pipette is used for? thanks. Gill


Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?

Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.


What is are liquids and gasses known as?

Could be Characterized as Many different things. Both are Fluids, meaning they take the shape of their container. Both are matter, albeit different states of matter
