Which property of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes?

All substances have distinct physical and chemical properties, and may undergo physical or chemical changes. Physical properties, such as hardness and boiling point, and physical changes, such as melting or freezing, do not involve a change in the composition of matter.

What property of matter changes depending on the gravitational pull?
Weight
Why doesn't your mass change on different planets?
Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.
When does the moon change shape?
The moon supposedly "changes shape" all the time, as the moon is constantly orbiting the Earth however the moon doesn't actually change shape, it is the amount of the sunlit side of the Earth that we see changing.
Does the length of day change in a week?
In terms of the amount of minutes of daylight, that changes every day, so it certainly does change in a week. Days still have 24 hours though, except when the hour goes forward and back.
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.
A physical property of a substance can only be observed if the substance changes into a different substance?
No, a physical property DOES NOT change the identity of a substance. That would be a chemical property which DOES change the identity.
What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of substance that you have?
No change: Density is a property of the substance (physical property), which is not changed by the amount of substance.
Is density an intensive property or extensive property?
Intensive because it doesn't depend on the amount of material.
Why is dencity a physical change?
Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.
Do the properties of a substance change if the substance changes from a liquid to a gas?
Well, one of a substance's properties is whether it's a liquid or a gas or a solid. This is a physical property. If you mean chemical property, then no, it doesn't change with a change of phase.
What is the relationship between the chemical property of a substance and the chemical changes of a substance?
The chemical properties of an object show what a chemical change did to that substance.
How a physical property such as mass or texture can change without causing a change in substance?
These physical changes doesn't influence the chemical formula of the substance.
Is Density is a property?
Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.YES.
Describe 2 physical changes?
The two types of physical properties are intensive and extensive. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an intensive property is density. Extensive properties do depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an extensive property is mass.
Is rusting a chemical or physical property?
Rusting is a chemical property because it is irreversible. It changes the identity of the substance.
Can you explain the difference between physical changes and chemical changes?
Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.
Is the density of a substance a physical property of the substance?
Density is classified as a physical property because the density of a substance can change when the substance changes state. Example: When water evaporates it is a physical change and the density changes. A chemical property is a property that describes its ability to react chemically with other substances and THEREFORE density is not a chemical property.YES.
