Remember that substances around us are basically made up of atoms. The general tendency is that substances with massive ("heavy") atoms are denser. However, the distance between the atoms is also quite relevant. For example, in a gas the density can be 1000 times less or so, compared to the SAME substance in the solid state - simply because the atoms are farther apart in a gas.
What else can I help you with?
If a substance had a high viscosity does that same substance have a high density?
No. For instance oil is more viscous then water but has a lower density
What property of matter causes make a substance sink or float?
The density of a substance determines whether it will sink or float in a particular liquid. If the substance's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the substance's density is less than the liquid's density, it will float.
Will a substance with a high density be heavy or light?
A substance with high density will be heavy because density is a measure of the mass of the substance per unit volume. High density means there is a greater amount of mass packed into a defined volume, resulting in a heavier weight relative to its size.
What is the relationship between volume and mass in a given substance?
The relationship between volume and mass in a substance is determined by its density. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. In general, if the density of a substance is high, then its mass will be high for a given volume, and vice versa. This means that as the volume of a substance increases, its mass may also increase if the density remains constant.
Why high concentration HAVE high optical density?
High concentration of a substance leads to high optical density because more particles are present in the solution, resulting in increased scattering or absorption of light. This increased interaction with light causes a greater reduction in light intensity, making the solution more opaque and resulting in higher optical density.
What substance has a density of 11.3?
The substance with a density of 11.3 g/cm^3 is likely to be platinum. Platinum has a high density, making it one of the densest elements.
What substance has a high density?
Lead has a high density, making it ideal for use in applications where weight is important, such as in counterweights. Osmium is another substance with a high density, being the densest naturally occurring element.
Does a substance density increase or decrease when it has a high amount of kinetic energy?
No.
Is mercury the lightest substance in chemistry?
No, mercury has a very high density.
What increases as heat is applied to density?
As heat is applied to a substance, its density typically decreases. This is because the increase in temperature causes the molecules to move more rapidly and thus spread out, leading to a decrease in the density of the substance.
Will a given volume of a substance with high density be heavy or light?
Compared to a low density substance and all other things being equal, it would be heavier.
How do you calculate the relative density of a substance?
To calculate the relative density of a substance, you divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The formula is: Relative Density Density of Substance / Density of Water. The relative density is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to water.
