It depends what you are calculating. Volume is the amount of space on object occupies; mass is the amount of matter in an object.

How would you use the density formula to find the volume or mass of a sample?

You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)


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".


What is the measure of how much mass there is in a volume of a substance?

Mass / volume (mass per unit volume) is called "density".Mass / volume (mass per unit volume) is called "density".Mass / volume (mass per unit volume) is called "density".Mass / volume (mass per unit volume) is called "density".


How can you use properties of matter to determine the density?

The density is the ratio mass/volume.


How do you use properties of matter to determine density?

Density equals mass divided by volume. So you use mass and volume to determine density.

no


How do you find the volume of mercury if only the density is known?

Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.
