Yes, density and volume are related. Let's look at the two and sort things out.

Volume is the term we apply to the amount of space something takes up. If we use the example of a block of lead that is one foot on each edge, we have a cubic foot of lead. The lead has a volume of one cubic foot, and it is taking up one cubic foot of 3-dimensional space. That's volume.

Density is the amount (mass) of a substance for a given volume of that substance. In the case of lead, that cubic foot of the metal will weigh a bit over 700 pounds. As we have a mass of lead (the approximately 700 pounds) and a volume of lead (the cubic foot), we can say that the density of lead is about 700 pounds per cubic foot. Certainly this is an approximation, and we have to be a lot more accurate when we head off into the chemistry lab. But the example using the cubic foot of lead is a fairly graphic one and is pretty easy to visualize.

What is related to density?

Density = mass/volume so it is related to mass and volume. And Volume is related to temperature and pressure, so it is related to those as well.

What is the density of a substance related to its mass and its volume?

Density is the ratio of mass and volume.


How is density of a substance related to is mass and its volume?

How do you get mass from volume?

The two are related via the density. Density is mass divided by volume.


What is density different from mass and volume?

The three are related by the relationship: density = mass / volume.


What is the related formula for density?

density is defined as the quantity in mass upon quantity in volume Mass/volume= density


How is volume of an object related to its density?

Density is mass/volume. So if mass doesn't change and volume increases, you'll have lower density, and vise-versa.


How do density, mass, and volume relate to each other?

Density, mass, and volume are related through the formula density mass/volume. Density is the amount of mass in a given volume, so as mass increases or volume decreases, density also increases.


How are mass and volume of a substance related?

mass = volume x density


What is the weight of a ball having density 2.86 cm and 12.6 cm volume?

What is the relationship between the volume of a liquid and its mass?

The mass of a liquid and the volume of it are not related, they have no bearing on one another. The mass and volume can change independently, in theory. They are related by the equation to calculate density. Density=Mass/Volume
