Why may the same volumes of different ingredients not weight the Same?

Equal volumes may have different weights for many reasons, for instance:
1. The densities of the substances may be inherently different. This happens with non food items too, for instance a cubic metre of aluminium weighs less than a cubic metre of iron.
2. Powders can pack differently, so one may have more air spaces.
3. One substance may be damp.

Would a 10g piece of aluminum and 10g piece of iron have the same volume?
No, the 10g piece of aluminum and 10g piece of iron would not have the same volume. Different materials have different densities, so even if they have the same mass, their volumes will be different.
What ingredients are the same in weight and volume?
WATER
Why are most baking ingredients weighed on a scale rather than measured by volume?
Because many of them are powders. The same weight of a powder can have many different volumes, depending on how much air has been fluffed into it. For example: When you sift flour, you get more volume out of the sifter than you put into it, although the sifter obviously doesn't change the weight of the flour.
What is the difference between weight and capacity?
Capacity is referring to volume, not weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. 1 pound of lead and one pound of wood have the same weight (1 lb) but they have very different volumes (capacities).
If two solids have the same masses and different volumes do they have different or equal densities?
different equal
How many liters in 14 stone?
You need to specify what the liquid is that you are measuring. The liter is a measure of volume, and the stone is a measure of weight. Liquids with different measures of specific gravity (similar to measures of mass for solids) will fill different volumes at the same weight.
Can you have 2 different rectangular prisms with the same Surface area but different volumes?
Yes, you can.
The oceans saltiness is the same in all locations?
no as there is different volumes of water
Do objects of the same size and shape have the same mass?
No, not unless they are made of the same substance. Different substances have different densities, which means that the same volumes will have different masses.
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
How many pints are equal to 90 grams?
it depends on the density of what you are comparing. Pints is a measure of volume while grams is a measure of weight, so it is impossible to answer since the same volumes of different things weigh different.
What is the volume of a 2.5 g block of metal?
Different metals have different volumes for the same mass.
