Explain why density and solubility are size-dependent physical properties of matter?

Answer 1

Density and solubility are size-independent physical properties of matter because their values do not uniformly increase or decrease relative to size or volume. Density is the measure of mass within a given volume, so while the size of an object does influence the density, it does not entail that smaller objects have greater density. For example, a cannon has greater density than a cup of water, even though the cannon has much greater volume. Solubility is the measure of a substance's ability to dissolve, therefore both large and small objects can have high or low solubility. For example, a packet of sugar has greater solubility than a Bowling bowl, while a large mineral lick has greater solubility than a pin.

Answer 2

A physical property refers to any characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the composition of the material. Examples of physical properties that are size dependent are density and solubility.

Answer 3

Dependant and independent properties refer to wether or not they change depending on how much of it you have.

Dependent properties will change based on amount of stuff. Some examples of dependent properties are mass (if you have more of it it will weigh more) and volume (if you have more of it it will take up more space).

Independent properties will not change based on amount. As you mentioned density, if you have 1 gram of something it will have the same density as 1000 grams of the same thing which will have the same density as 10000000 kilograms of the same thing. Similar to solubility, solubility refers to how much of something will disolve in something else (normally on a % basis or mass per volume). So no matter how much of the substance you have, you can only disolve x grams per liter.

Answer 4

Solubility is a physical property because it is related to a physical, not a chemical, change. When something dissolves, it does not change chemically. It is still the same compound/molecule, etc. when it was not dissolved in the solvent.

Answer 5

Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes.

Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.

Answer 6

Because it is the number of grams of one substance that will dissolve in 100g of another substance at a given temperature.

Answer 7

I am pretty sure it is Size- dependent....

Answer 8

because the way how it is and how it depends

Answer 9

State (phase), colour, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, density are some.
