Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. Volume is measured in units of cubic meters (m3) and changes with the phase state of the object. A common way of changing the volume of an object is by adding thermal energy, or heating it.
For example, pure water (H2O) naturally exists in 3 basic states on Earth: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). If you have a constant amount of water, a mass of 1kg, then it will occupy differing amounts of volume depending on its state.
As a liquid it will occupy the least amount of space (volume), as a solid it forms a crystalline structure which has a larger volume than as a liquid. This is why frozen bottles of water appear "bloated". As a gas (after boiling), it will begin to expand and occupy a greater volume (this is one reason why breads rise).
Try ItA fun exercise to test this is to fill a latex balloon with air (blow it up) and tie off the knot. The balloon has a constant mass of air within it (ignoring leaks in the knot/latex), and its volume is quite large. Take the balloon and put it in a very cold place (a freezer is a good choice). Go back after an hour (maybe less) check on the balloon. Once it has cooled, it should appear much smaller because the air has less energy (as a gas), and so exerts a smaller force on the latex, resulting in a smaller volume. If you take the balloon out of the freezer and place it at room temperature, it will slowly return to (nearly) its original size.

What happens to the magnitude of mass density as the volume of an object becomes greater than its mass?
Since mass and volume are two different dimensional quantities, there is no meaning in saying that mass is greater or less than the volume.
How is mass per volume different than volume per mass?
One is the reciprocal of the other. It is more common to use "mass per volume", but in theory you could use either. If object "A" has more mass per volume than object "B", then object "B" will have more volume per mass than object "A".
How is the density different from mass and volume?
Mass is the amount of matter, volume is the amount of space, and density uses both, it is mass / volume.
Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?
Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.
What is the mass and volume of the nucleus?
If you mean the nucleus of an atom, different atom have different masses - an uranium atom has more than 200 times the mass of a hydrogen-1 atom (and most of that mass is in the nucleus).
Does a smashed can have a different mass than a full can?
No. An object's mass is not altered by its volume.

Are the values of volume and weight same?
No; volume and mass are different characteristics with different units of measure.. Mass = Volume x Density
The ------ of a substance is defined as it mass divided by its volume?
weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved
How are liquids mass and liquid volume different?
Mass = Volume x Density
How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?
Since density=Mass/volume. If 2 solutions have the same volumes, they would have different densities because their masses are different. More explanations. For example same volume of aluminum and iron would have different mass because the atomic mass of aluminum is comparatively less than that of iron. Aluminium has nearly mass 27 amu where as iron has 56 amu. The crystalline structure would bring the atoms with different lattice distances and so the density would differ. Answer Objects of same volume have different density because as Density is equal to mass over volume so according to this relation volume and density are inverseley propotional to each others so when we increase volume density decrease so two solutions can have same volume and different densities.

Is The weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume.?
weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved
What is density different from mass and volume?
The three are related by the relationship: density = mass / volume.
How do you calculate density when the volume is higher than the mass?
It makes no difference. Density = mass / volume. You divide the mass by the volume. If the volume is greater than the mass your answer will necessarilybe less than one, but that is still the correct answer showing the density in terms of the units used.
