What kind of property is the density of an object?

The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume. ---- It's a physical property.


Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?

The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.


Which physical property can be determined by finding the ratio of mass to volume?

mass and volume


What is the definition of density?

Density is a property of matter representing the mass per unit volume. :)


Why is density considerd a physical property?

If you take various lumps of copper, weigh them and find their volume, you find that the ratio mass/volume is always the same. If you do the same with silver, you get a constant ratio that is different to that of copper. Thus the ratio mass/volume (that we call density) is a property of the material (e.g.copper) rather than any particular lump.


Density is the ratio of?

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.


How does volume affect specific gravity?

Specific gravity is otherwise known to be "Relative Density". It is the ratio of the density of a substance to that of water as water has been taken as standard. So though volume gets changed there is no chance to get change in the relative density as it is the characteristic property of the substance.


What is the relationship between the volume and the ratio of mass to volume?

Depending on how you interpret the question, the relationship between those two properties either nonexistent or trivial. Volume is an extrinsic property and density (ratio of mass to volume) is an intrinsic property; there's no relation between them other than IF you know any two of the three properties (mass, volume, density) you can calculate the missing one.


What is a cholesterol hdl ratio?

A cholesterol HDL ratio is the high density lipoprotein and a high ration indicates a person is more at risk of heart disease. It can also lead to diabetes and the problems associated with it.


Density has the ratio of what to what?

Density is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance.


A mineral has a specific gravity of 7.0 What does this mean?

Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of one material to the density of water (at 4 degrees C). When a mineral has a specific gravity (SG) of 7.0 it means that the mineral is 7.0 times as heavy as the same volume of water.


What is the difference of relative density and density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
