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.
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.
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!
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 substance has a density less than 1 gmL?
For example ice and lithium.
What is relative densities?
Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.If a substance's relative density is less than one then it is less dense than the reference; if greater than 1 then it is denser than the reference. If the relative density is exactly 1 then the densities are equal
What is one characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance?
A pure substance is a material which contains atoms of only one kind. It has fixed physical and chemical properties like boiling point, melting point, valency, density.
What is the difference of relative density versus density?
Absolute versus relative densityDensity is mass per unit volume. To determine an object's density (absolute), simply divide its mass by its volume. For example, 1000 kilograms of water occupies one cubic meter. We can therefore say that water's density is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3), which equals one kilogram per liter (kg/L), which also equals one gram per milliliter (g/mL). Now, let's say you have some other substance that also occupies one cubic meter but weighs 2000 kilograms. It has a density of 2000 kg/m3. In other words, relative to water, the substance is twice as dense as water. Now you have an idea of what relative density is.If we use water as a reference, we can compare other substances' densities to the density of water. Simply divide the substance's absolute density by the absolute density of water to get the relative density of the substance (relative to water). Relative density is a unit-less quantity; it is just a number. If a substance is denser than water, its relative density will be greater than one. If it's less dense than water, it will have a relative density less than one.Relative density is also known as Specific Gravity.
1 Why can you use total mass divided by total volume or mass of 1 substance divided by volume of 1 substance to calculate density?
Because the definition of density is (mass) divided by (volume), and they're not connected ...two objects can have the same mass but different volumes, or the same volume but differentmasses ... so you have to know both numbers to calculate the object's density.
What physical property of matter tells how concentrated matter is?
Density is a physical property that is often correlated with chemical composition. For example, most metals are denser than any non metal elements, and most hydrocarbons are less dense than water.
