How does the density of a substance affect the properties of the substance?

It affects weight and size.
Mainly it affects the weight of a certain volume. e.g. a cubic foot of water weighs 15 lbs but a cubic foot of iron would be about 7 times as much.
Those materials which are less dense than water will float in water.

Do properties remain the same regardless of the amount of the substance?
Intensive properties remain the same with a change in the amount of a substance - for example: temperature and density Extensive properties do not remain the same with a change in the amount of a substance - for example: mass and volume
What type of property of matter is independent of the quantity of the substance?
density, melting point, boiling point, chemical composition, electrical properties, thermal properties and the others
Kelly has a sample of an unknown substance. Which properties of the substance will be the same no matter how large or small her sample is?
All intrinsic properties will be the same regardless of sample size. Some examples would be density, color, temperature, chemical reactivity, etc.
What is an example for an intensive property?
Intensive properties are those properties that are independent of mass or size. Examples would be temperature, density, etc. Regardless of how much you have, the density is the same, and the temperature is the same.
What two properties must be measured in order to determined the density of an object?
the equation for density is; p = m/V so you would need to find the mass of a substance for a certain volume
Which classification of property does not effect density?
Intensive property is the classification of property that does not affect density. In science, there are ten intensive properties of a substance.
What will affect the density of a substance?
Density=mass/volume
Is electrical conductivity and density properties of a substance?
I like poopy
What are two physical properties that can vary even when the substance with these properties does not change?
i think Buoyancy and Density are two physical properties that can vary even when the substance with these properties doesn't change.
What are properties of a substance that will never change?
weight, volume, density, mass
What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
Why does mass or volume affect the density of a substance?
Because density is DEFINED as mass/volume.
How do the properties of the states of matter vary?
Density does not vary with the state of the matter in a substance.
Could food colouring added to the substance affect the density calculation of the substance?
no it could not
Do properties remain the same regardless of the amount of the substance?
Intensive properties remain the same with a change in the amount of a substance - for example: temperature and density Extensive properties do not remain the same with a change in the amount of a substance - for example: mass and volume
Does a chemical change does not affect a substance's properties?
yes and no,its both
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
Density is a physical property; physical properties are measurable.
