"Mass to volume" indicates that the volume is the denominator, so that if the volume is made smaller the ratio gets larger (assuming the mass stays the same), and if the volume is made larger the ratio gets smaller.

∙ 13y agoWell, let's see . . .
I'm pretty sure there's more mass in Lake Michigan than there is in a glass of water.
But:If you keep the amount of "stuff" (the 0.3 liters of water in the glass) the same and increase the volume by turning it into gas (just let it evaporate) then the volume is greater but the mass is still the same. (There are no new molecules of water, they are just spread out way more in its gas (vapour) form.
Mass is like a measurement of how many atoms (or molecules) there are in the glass as in the example in the previous paragraph. When you heat something up it normally increases in volume. But there are no more molecules, they are just moving faster and hitting each other harder. Harder hits create bigger bounces and the molecules travel farther apart making the total volume go up.
If you increase the volume by adding more stuff to a glass, well then yes, the mass increases since you have added more molecules. More molecules, more mass.
Density = Mass/Volume --> Density is not a constant. When you increase volume, with mass remaining the same, the value of the fraction decreases, meaning density decreases.

∙ 9y agoIf a substance has X grams per cubic centimeter, then doubling the volume gives 2 cubic centimeters. This means that there are 2X grams, so doubling the volume doubles the mass.

∙ 9y agoIf the mass of the object is doubled the results are directly affected. This will automatically increase the space occupied by the object.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoDensity automatically increases with mass if volume remains constant. If the amount of mass in a given volume doubles, the density of the substance in that volume has doubled.

What the mass of a material in a given volume called?
It is the mass in that volume. There is no special name unless the volume happens to be a unit volume on some measurement scale.
What are two things you need to know to calculate density?
Mass and volume. You divide the mass by the volume to get density with the corresponding units. Mass and volume. Density = mass/volume Often, mass is in grams and volumes in milliliters. Water has a density of 1g/ml. Air has a density of about 0.0013g/ml. Lead has a density of 11.34g/ml.
What is the equations for density?
D=m/v Density=mass/volume de= ma/vo Density = Mass/Volume
Is density volume divided by mass?
Yes, very good. Volume is mass divided by density.
What is the basic unit of mass and volume?
Mass is kilograms Volume is cubic meters
What happens to mass r when volume increases?
The answer depends on what happens to other characteristics: particularly density or volume
What happens to the density as the mass and volume change?
it liquifies.
What happens to volume if density increases?
Density = mass / volume. Therefore, if volume increases and mass doesn't change, density will obviously decrease.
What the mass of a material in a given volume called?
It is the mass in that volume. There is no special name unless the volume happens to be a unit volume on some measurement scale.
How do you find the volume of a sphere giving the mass and density?
Volume of anything = (its mass) divided by (its density) regardless of what shape it happens to be.
What happens to density if an objects mass remains constant but its volume is increased?
Nothing. If the volume is increased, the mass also has to increase.
What happens to density when volume or mass is affected?
Density = Mass / Volume Therefore: Increase in Mass --> Increase in Density Increase in Volume --> Decrease in Density and Vice Versa.. :) Hope this helped
What happens to the magnitude of mass density as the volume of an object becomes greater than its mass?
Since mass and volume are two different dimensional quantities, there is no meaning in saying that mass is greater or less than the volume.
What happens to density if the volume increase?
must decrease
What happens to the mass and the volume of an ice cube as it melts?
The mass should not change but will decreases slightly due to evaporation. The volume will decrease.
What happens to density if you change the volume and mass?
stays the same
If density increases and mass stays the same then what happens to the volume?
the density increases
