Does density increase decrease or stay the same if temp and mass of a liquid increase?

Depends on the other conditions. If the volume remains constant, the density will remain the same (but the pressure will increase). If the pressure remains constant, the volume will increase - and therefore the density (mass / volume) will decrease.


How is density affected by increasing the mass while holding the volume constant?

Original density = M/VNew density = (KM)/(KV) = (K/K) (M/V) = original density.If the mass and volume both increase by the same factor, the density is unchanged.It only means that you have a larger piece of the same substance.


If mass increases and volume stays the same then density decreases?

Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.


If the temperature of a gas in a movable piston is decreased what will happen to the density of the gas?

It will increase. Density is mass/volume. Mass remains constant since no matter is entering or escaping. Lowering the temperature decreases the volume. Same mass in a smaller space= increased density.


What happens the mass of an object increases but the volume stays the same?

at constant temperature in a closedcontainer the increase in temperature increases the volume of a gas but not the mass.

How is the density affected by increasing the mass whiule holding the volume constant?

Holding volume constant while increasing mass will increase density. density = mass / volume


What happens to density when increasing mass and holding volume constant?

The density will increase.


How does a change volume affect an objects density when mass stays the same?

With constant mass, a decrease in volume will increase the the density. Conversely, an increase in volume will decrease the density.

Does the mass of water increase when it is frozen?

No, the volume it occupies and the density will change however the mass will remain constant


Why does density increase when a gas is compressed?

There will be the same amount of gas but in a smaller space. Density is mass/volume So as volume decreases and mass is constant, the density increases.


What effect does an increase in pressure have on the density of a material?

When pressure increases the volume of the material decreases. Density=mass/volume When volume decreases density increases.(Mass constant)


How does the mass change when the volume is increased two times?

When volume is increased two times, mass is also doubled. This is because density of a particular material always remains constant, (d=m/v), so to keep density constant, volume increase is balanced by mass increase.


What happens to density if an objects mass remains constant but its volume is increased?

Nothing. If the volume is increased, the mass also has to increase.


If mass decreases does density increase?

No its density decreases assuming volume remains constant. Density is defined as mass / volume, so if mass (the numerator) decreases but volume (the denominator) doesn't change, the quotient will decrease.


How is the density affected by increasing volume while holding the mass constant?

(mass) Density is mass/volume, so increasing the volume with mass held constant will decrease the density.


What happens to density when volume or mass is affected?

Density = Mass / Volume Therefore: Increase in Mass --> Increase in Density Increase in Volume --> Decrease in Density and Vice Versa.. :) Hope this helped
