Best Answer

Take two hypothetically substances A and B

in equal masses (eg. 1 kg A and 1 kg B) and taken in equal volumes ( 0.8 L A, and 0.8 L B), then they already have the same density (both are 1.25 kg/L A and 1.25 kg/L B) each other apart. (that's how the question was formulated)

HOWEVER:

when mixed together the masses add up (Mass conservation law) to 2 kg A+B,

BUT total volume is not exactly added up (no conservation law for volume). Normally some contraction takes place, then Vtotal < 1.6 L (sometimes more than 2% contraction)

Is density the volume of equal masses of substances?

yes


What has a greater density 0.8 or 0.7?

The answer depends on what the numbers measure. If they are the masses of equal volumes of substances, then the substance with mass 0.8 is denser. On the other hand, if the numbers refer to the volumes of equal masses of two substances, then the substance with volume 0.7 is denser.


What is the ratio mass of a substance to the volume of the substances?

Its density.


What is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substances?

That's the definition of the density of the substance.


When you compare masses of the same volume of different substances you are doing what?

Comparing density


The amount of mass in a given volume of a substance is the substances?

That is called "density".


What substances consist of density?

No substance 'consists' of density. Rather density is a property of matter or substance. It is the amount of matter of a substance in a certain volume of that substance. A combination of a unit of mass (eg. kilogram) and a volume (eg. a cubic metre) You would say that a substance has a density of so many kilograms in a cubic metre.


Is a solid have a high or low volume?

Density is dependent on mass and volume. Density is not a fixed constant for all substances either. The measure of density is by substance based on the above factors.

How do you calculate the density of a substance?

Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.


Which conclusion is supported by the given data in the table mass volume and density measurement of substances?

by increasing the mass of a substance its density will increase


When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?

When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.
