When a substance is heated what happens in mass volume and weight?
Both the mass and weight remain unchanged. However; generally; the volume increases due to the thermal expansion of the substance when heated up.
What property of gas particles is measured in temperature?
3.1415 This answer is errelivant to what you are asking
What is a titre value in titrations?
titre value for a substance is the volume of titrant divided by the weight of the sample
How can you find the density of a substance?
I would do it the same way Archimedes did; Weigh the substance, then immerse it in a substance that would not affect it, i.e. water, alcohol, etc., to determine the volume of the sample of the substance, then divide the weight by the volume and reduce the result to grams/cubic centimetre, or whatever unit is convenient; g/cc kg/L tonne/hectolitre, etc., etc. OR: Measure the mass and volume of the substance, then divide the mass by the volume
What are the specific properties of matter?
Matter is defined as a physical substance having mass and volume. Because of these two properties, it will also have weight (due to gravity acting on its mass) and density (the ratio of mass to volume). The mass also implies inertia, as energy must be applied to affect the motion of matter. For chemical analysis, the fundamental properties are: INERTIA - resistance to motion due to mass MASS - the amount of matter in an object VOLUME - the amount of space an object takes up WEIGHT - a measure of the pull of gravity on an object DENSITY - mass per unit of volume SPECIFIC GRAVITY - density compared to a standard (water) also SPECIFIC HEAT - energy required to raise the matter's temperature
2000 pounds equals how many gallons?
This depends on the substance. Re-ask the question with the substance or density of the substance. Gallons -> volume Lbs -> weight Weight = volume X density
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?
The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.
How do you convert cubic feet per hour in to kilogram per hour?
This depends on what substance and at what temperature at sea level. Cubic feet is a volume. Kilogram is a weight. Give me a substance and I'll tell you how.
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
How much does 180 liters weigh?
A liter is a unit of volume whereas any weight is a unit of mass. To determine how much a volume of any substance weighs, the density of the substance at the current temperature needs to be found. Typically, density is expressed in g/mL. Once the density has been determined, the equation density=mass(grams)/volume(liters) is used to determine the mass or weight of the substance.
Does the same volume of all dry substances weigh the same?
No. The weight of a given volume of a solid is dependent on its DENSITY (weight per volume). The value provided may be its absolute density (at a given temperature) or its specific gravity(density compared to another substance, usually water).
What effects pressure?
weight temperature volume ?
The ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4c is its?
Specific gravity.
When a substance is heated what happens in mass volume and weight?
Both the mass and weight remain unchanged. However; generally; the volume increases due to the thermal expansion of the substance when heated up.
Does a volume has a weight?
It completely depends on whether or not there is any substance in the volume, and whether the volume is anywhere near a planet.
How many cubic liters of bark are in 1 cubic ton?
This depends on the density of the substance. Liters: Volume Tonne: Weight Density = Weight / Volume Volume = Weight / Density
