What affect will happen on the mass of a substance if taken on moon?

This is a trick question! The mass of a substance does not change no matter where it is, even when it is weightless in space. The mass says in a way how much "stuff" there is, which does not depend on where it is.
The "weight" of a substance is how heavy it is, how much force it puts on the ground. The weight says how hard it is to lift. The weight of a substance will only be 1/6 as much on the moon because the moon has less gravity than the earth, since the gravity of something depends on how big it is and the moon is smaller than the earth.

Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?
Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.
How the location of an object affect its mass and weight?
The location like moon will affect its weight but not the mass
Why is there a change of mass after combustion?
When something burns, it is getting oxidized. Combustion reactions involve oxygen. During oxidation, 1.the substance forms a bond with oxygen (or) 2.an element of the substance breaks away from it to bond with oxygen. The mass of the reactants (substance + oxygen) are always equal to the mass of the products. If the mass referred to in the question is the mass of the substance, then you can say that the mass has increased due to the addition of oxygen when the substance is forming a bond with it. However in reactions where an element breaks off the substance to bond with oxygen, the mass in question can be assumed to be that of the major portion of the substance. Then, it may be said that the mass of the substance has reduced. For example, carbon in a substance combines with oxygen to form CO2. Thus the substance loses carbon and its mass reduces.
What do you call a substance that has mass and occupies space?
an object
Any substance that has mass and occupies space is called?
matter
What will affect the density of a substance?
Density=mass/volume
Why does mass or volume affect the density of a substance?
Because density is DEFINED as mass/volume.
What will happen to density of a substance if its mass is doubled?
Nothing.Density = mass(kg)/volume(m3)When we double the mass of a substance, the volume of the substance will be double too.= mass*2/(volume*2)= (mass/volume)*(2/2)=(mass/volume)*1so the density will not change.
Does a change in the mass affect the density of the object?
Adding mass may increase or decrease the density if the substance added is different. Merely changing the mass will not affect the density.
How mass and volume affect the mass of a substance?
It is not clear what you mean with "mass... affects mass". Perhaps you should reformulate the question to make it clearer.
Why does mass and volume affect density?
The density of a substance is its mass divided by its volume. So for the same volume the higher the mass, the higher the density.
What affect the half life of a radioactive substance A the mass of the substance B the temperature of the substance C the addition of a catalyst D the type?
the type of isotope apex
Does mass or volume affect the density of the substance?
Yes, both do. Density = Mass/Volume, So density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.
Does the mass of a substance change after a chemical reaction changes the substance from a liquid to a solid?
No. According the the law of conservation of Mass, it would be physically impossible for the mass of the substance to change. However, it is possible for the volume (amount of space taken up by the substance) to change, as well as it's weight (if gasses are released or molecules in the air are involved).
If a given substance is cut into a different shap the object affect its density why?
It acually doesn't affect it's density, only the mass changes.
Is the molar mass a fixed quantity for a particular substance?
For most purposes, the molar mass of any particular substance remains the same. However to be precise I will note that there are isotopic variations which can affect molar mass. In other words, it is normally expected that a given substance will have a certain mixture of isotopes giving a certain mass, but a substance obtained from one source might have a different isotope ratio than the same substance obtained from a different source.
What happen to the density of a substance when you heat it?
Normally when you heat a substance its volume increases while mass stays the same. It may not be noticable but the density would decrease.
