Why is density considered a characteristic property of a substance but mass and voluje are not?

Because
-- You can have a large mass of copper or a small mass of copper, so there's no
single mass that always goes with copper, or any other substance.
-- You can have a large volume of uranium or a small volume of uranium, so there's no
single volume that always goes with uranium, or any other substance.
But ...
-- No matter whether you have a lot of steel, or silver, or aluminum, or just a little bit of
steel, or silver, or aluminum, the same substance will always have the same density
no matter how much of it you have. The same density always goes with the same
substance, regardless of how much mass or how much volume of it there is.

How many grams does a key have?
Density is a characteristic property of a substance.The density of a substance is the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up (volume).
Why is density a characteristic of physical property?
Density. Its considered a physical property because of the amount of mass/volume. Its an intensive physical property because you can measure density of solution without changing its chemical identify, it observable. ... Because a material that expands takes up a larger volume and it density decreases.Dec 10, 2014
Why is density considered to be a property?
In this context, property does not mean a financial asset that is owned, but a characteristic. Any physical object has mass and it occupies space. Both these are essential characteristics - or properties - of matter. Divide the mass by the volume and you have another characteristic or property and this one is called its density.
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 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.
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
Density is a physical property; physical properties are measurable.
Why is density characteristic property?
Density is a Characteristic Property because it is A quality of a substance that never changes and can be used to identify the substances.
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.
What is the property that is a quality of a substance that never changes and can be used to indentify the substance?
A quality of a substance that never changes is one of the reasons why density is a characteristic property
Is density a characteristic property?
Yes, the density is a characteristic property. Density is a physical property, an intensive property, independent on the amount of material.
Is mass characteristic property?
No definitely not.Because a characteristic property should not change.It is used to identify a substance.Mass and Volume are not characteristic properties whereas Density is a characteristic property of the substance .
Does there density of object change when there is more present?
No. Density is a characteristic property, so there it is always the same no matter how much of the substance is present.
What is a characteristic property that is measured in grams per cubic centimeter that tells a substance's mass per unit volume?
This characteristic is called density.
