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 is ppm by volume?
Parts per million (ppm) by volume is a unit of measurement used to express the concentration of a substance in a gas as a ratio of the volume of the substance to the total volume of the gas. It is calculated as the volume of the substance divided by the total volume of the mixture multiplied by one million.
What are the specific properties of matter?
Specific properties of matter include mass, volume, density, shape, and state (solid, liquid, gas). These properties help to define and distinguish different types of matter and how they interact with the environment.
What is the equivalent of 0.0175cu.m in weight?
A cubic meter is a unit of volume, not weight. You would also need to know the density of the substance. For example 0.0175 cubic meters of water will weigh much more than the same volume of air.
How can you find the density of a substance?
The density of a substance can be found by dividing its mass by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume. The units for density are typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) for solids and liquids, and grams per milliliter (g/mL) for liquids.
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?
Pressure can affect the physical properties of gases, liquids, and solids. For gases, pressure influences volume and temperature through the ideal gas law. In liquids, pressure can impact density and boiling point. In solids, pressure can cause compression or expansion, altering the arrangement of atoms and thus changing the material's properties.
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
