Air fresheners contain compounds with low volatility.
A solid air freshener loses mass and volume over time due to evaporation of the fragrant oils or other volatile components that give it its scent. As these components evaporate into the air, the weight and size of the air freshener decrease.
When you open a solid air freshner, the solid slowly loses mass and volume due to sublimation. Sublimation occurs when the surface particles of a solid gain enough energy to form a gas. Since solids are closely packed together and have a definite shape and volume and gases have no definite volume, when the solid air freshner sublimates, it causes the solid to lose shape and volume to turn into gas.
Evaporation. Air fresheners contain volatile compounds that evaporate relatively easily. The effect is comparable to what happens when you put out a saucer of water; the water evaporates (because the air isn't saturated with water vapour), it doesn't have to BOIL.
If by space you are referring to volume, then NO. Matter doesn't lose a considerable amount of mass when it changes volume. See: Law of Conservation of Mass. However, if the volume increases and the mass does not the density of the object decreases. Summary: No. It doesn't lose mass. But it does lose density.
Density = Mass/Volume so Volume = Mass/Density. Provided the object is solid.
Matter that has a definite volume and a definite mass is... a SOLID. So any solid will be a correct answer to your question.
You measure its mass and volume and then density = mass/volume.
Density = Mass/Volume so Volume = Mass/Density Volume = 24.836/1.92 = 12.94 cc
mass/volume
A Solid is matter that has definite volume and mass
mass over volume
All states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - have mass and volume. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space it occupies. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, also has mass and volume.
