Not in normal circumstances. But if your sample contains only one atom, density becomes irrelevant, because practically all the mass is concentrated into the nucleus which is an object of extremely small size, much, much, much smaller than the size of the atom. Equally if the size becomes star-sized the gravity in some circumstances causes the very atoms to be crushed so that protons and electrons are crushed to form neutrons all packed tightly together and the density becomes literally astronomical ("neutron stars").

Why does the density of a substance not change with the sample size?

The density of a substance does not change with the sample size because density is an intrinsic property of the material, determined by its mass and volume. As you increase the sample size, both the mass and volume of the substance increase proportionally, resulting in no change in density. This relationship is described by the formula density = mass/volume, which remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance being measured.


Is it true that the density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?

Yes, density is an intrinsic property of a substance and remains constant regardless of the sample size or quantity. The formula for density is density = mass/volume, and this relationship holds true for all samples of the same substance.


Is density a extensive property of a substance?

Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.


Kelly has a sample of an unknown substance. Which properties of the substance will be the same no matter how large or small her sample is?

The chemical composition and intrinsic properties, such as density, melting point, boiling point, and specific heat capacity, will remain the same regardless of the sample size. These properties are characteristic of the substance itself and do not change with the amount of the sample.


Is The density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?

Not necessarily. The temperature of the samples would have to be the same. It can also vary with how pure the substance is.

What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.

The density of the substance is the same for all samples of the substance true or false?

Any sample size of a particular substance will have the same density.


Does the density of a substance change depending on how much of it you have?

No. Density is an INTRINSIC property, and as such it does NOT depend on the size of the sample.


Why is the density of a substance independent of sample size?

Density is an intensive quantity which means it is independent of size. This can be seen from the definition of density. Density = mass/volume So if the sample size increases than so does the mass, but the density remains unchanged.

What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?

Does density change if the sample of the same matter is larger?

No density if a characteristic of matter. Density can vary with temperature and pressure, but a chunk of something twice the volume of another chunk of the same substance will weigh twice as much because the two chunks have the same density.

Why density is the criteria for purity with respect to chemistry?

Mass and volume are extensive properties, which are dependent upon the size of the sample. A larger sample will have a greater mass and volume than a smaller sample. Density is an intensive property, which does not depend on the size of the sample. Density is a ratio of mass to volume, which does not vary with the size of the sample. The density of a larger sample will be the same as the density of a smaller sample.
