What is the difference between density and matter?
The difference is that Density is one way of measuring matter, its a math expression. While Matter is a physical substance.
Is the density of a kilogram of iron less than th density of one gram of iron?
The density should be identical regardless of the quantity, because "density" is what's called an intrinsic property; it doesn't matter how much of the substance there is.
What is the amount of matter in a given unit volume?
That depends on the substance being studied. "Given unit volume" means 1 liter, for instance, or one cubic centimeter - the specific volume being discussed. Once cubic cm of water would have less matter (is lighter) than one cubic cm of lead (is heavier.) Think about it this way - the more tightly packed a substance is, the more matter there is in one cubic cm of that substance. This is called the substance's DENSITY. If this is a hw problem you're trying to solve, you multiply the volume of substance by that substance's density (which you should find in a table or whatever.) Mind your units!
Why does one substance float over another?
A substance floats over another substance if it is less dense. Density is a measure of how much mass is in a given volume, so if one substance is less dense than another, it will float on top. This is due to the buoyant force exerted on the less dense substance by the denser substance.
Does one ml have the same density of 15 liters?
Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
Is the density of an object bigger in one piece or two?
The answer to that question is: No. The density of an object only depends on the substance its made of. If two samples are made of the same substance, then it doesn't matter if one is the size of a grain of sand and the other is the size of a battleship ... they have the same density.
One of the factor affecting density?
One of the factors affecting density is temperature. Because the particles spread more apart when heated, the hotter the substance is, the less dense the substance gets. another one has six letters that describes all of it is energy!!
What determines whether one will sink or float in another?
The density of an object is what determines whether it will sink or float in another substance. If the object's density is greater than the substance it's placed in, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the substance it's placed in, it will float.
What substance has a density less than 1 gmL?
For example ice and lithium.
A property of matter that can be observed and measured with out changing its density?
One property of matter that can be observed and measured without changing its density is its color. The color of a substance can be determined visually or quantitatively using instruments like a spectrophotometer, without altering its density.
How can one determine the relative density of a substance?
To determine the relative density of a substance, you can divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The relative density is also known as specific gravity and helps compare the density of a substance to that of water.
