What are the different characteristic of matter?
there are different characteristics in matter , but i cannot find it ..! :-{
Why id density a useful property for identifying substances?
It is useful because no matter how much you have of the same substance, it will always have the same density. The mathematical equation to find the density of matter is to divide the mass by the volume. So you get an average, the density. Water has a density of 1. However, oil has a density of something like .9, so it floats on water. That way, by just looking at the numbers, you can tell what is what.
What measures must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
in a mesureing cup
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.

How can finding the density of a material be useful in identifying the material?
Finding the volume and comparing it to the mass will give you the density, then it is simply a matter of looking up which materials have that density to find what it is. And that is how you can tell how the density can be used
What measurements must you make to find density of a sample of matter?
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
A sentence for mass?
Everything that has matter has mass. or To find density you have to divided the mass by the object's volume.
How do you find weight if length breadth and height is given?
You aslo need to know the density of the matter being calculated. multiply the density by the volume to get the weight
Does a substance having high optical density have to have a high physical density?
It's not necessary. If a compound has high optical density, it means that it absorbs more light at the given wavelength than some reference compound. There is no simple relation between density of matter and optical density. Even more I am pretty sure you can find a lot of compounds with lower densities (of matter) but having high optical density.
What formula was used by Archimedes to find the gold?
Archimedes discovered that all substances have a unique density - the amount of mass contained in a fixed volume of the substance.
