What happens to mass when volume increases?
As the density of a substance increases the volume of a given mass of the substance decreases.
What will happen to density of a substance if its mass is doubled?
Nothing.Density = mass(kg)/volume(m3)When we double the mass of a substance, the volume of the substance will be double too.= mass*2/(volume*2)= (mass/volume)*(2/2)=(mass/volume)*1so the density will not change.
Is the specific gravity of substance the same when the substance is in the solid state?
No. Roughly speaking, "specific gravity" is equivalent to density, i.e., mass divided by volume. If a substance changes its state, its volume will change, but its mass won't change - therefore, the density - the result of the division - will also change.
What happens to density of a substance during thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to change in temperature. During thermal expansion, the density of a substance decreases as its volume increases. Volume is the space occupied by a body. So, when a substance expands on heating, it will occupy more space or will have more volume. But its mass does not change because the amount of matter contained in a body cannot change. Therefore, mass divided by increased volume gives a decreased density.

Does the volume of an object change if heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated
How can you change density of a substance?
You can change the density of a substance by changing its volume. Density is equivalent to mass over volume. So changing the volume affects density.
How can volume change if a substance undergoes a chemical change?
If a substance undergoes a chemical change, its properties change. For example, water, when heated turns into a gas which has a higher volume.
How do you calculate the density of a substance?
Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.
What is the mass and substance of an object that has a density of 8.93 and a volume of 56cm?
If the density is 8.93g/ml then the substance is copper. The volume and mass can change depending on each experiment, but if the volume of this substance is 56, then the mass should be 500.08g.
What happens to mass when volume increases?
As the density of a substance increases the volume of a given mass of the substance decreases.
What are properties of a substance that will never change?
weight, volume, density, mass
When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?
When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.
Why density does not change with volume?
Density is how tightly packed the matter in a substance is. Therefore, how much space it takes up (volume) will not affect this.
What will happen to density of a substance if its mass is doubled?
Nothing.Density = mass(kg)/volume(m3)When we double the mass of a substance, the volume of the substance will be double too.= mass*2/(volume*2)= (mass/volume)*(2/2)=(mass/volume)*1so the density will not change.
Does changing the volume of a particular substance change its mass to volume ratio?
mass to volume ratio is nothing but density density is inversely proportional to volume hence if volume decreases density will increase and vice-versa
If mass increases and volume stays the same then density?
no density would increase, mass = volume x density if we assume that the volume of the substance cannot change then the only way to increase mass would be if that substance became more dense.
