If the material is pure and homogeneous, i.e. "the same throughout", then the density is

independent of the size of the sample. A chip the size of a pinhead and a chunk the size of

a truck have the same density.

What are the same densities of a small piece and a large piece of matter?

The density of a small piece of matter and a large piece of matter would be the same if they are made of the same material. Density is a physical property that remains constant regardless of the size or shape of the object, as long as the material composition is consistent.


Which has the greatest density a small piece of aluminum or a large piece of aluminum?

The small piece of aluminum will have greater density than the large piece of aluminum. Density is mass divided by volume, so for the same material, a smaller piece will have more mass per unit volume compared to a larger piece.


What are the same densities of a small piece and large piece of matter?

Density refers to the mass of a material in a given volume (same volume for all materials)


How the density of a large piece of aluminum compare to a small piece?

The same.


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.


Does one ml have the same density of 15 liters?

Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.


Does a large piece of wood have a greater density than a small piece of wood?

The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.


How does the density of a large piece od aluminum compare to a small piece?

becasue the alluminum is denser than the copper.


Which has the greatest density an iceberg a gallon of water an aluminum can or a small piece of lead?

A small piece of lead has the greatest density among the options listed. Lead has a high density compared to water, icebergs, and aluminum.


If a wooden block were cut into eight identical pieces the density of each piece compared to the density of the original block would be?

"Wood" may not be uniform and homogeneous ... there may be knots, voids, rough grain, etc. So it's a poor choice of material to illustrate the important principle here. The principle is: Provided the sample is homogeneous, like plastic or a refined metal, every piece of it, no matter how large or small, has the same density. Density is a property of the substance, without any reference to the shape or size of the sample. If the block is cut into pieces, no matter how many, and no matter whether they're the same size or different sizes, every piece should have the same density as the aggregate block had before it was cut.


Very small piece of matter?

When a substance has a large density a mass fits into a volume?

"large density" ===> (relatively large mass) fits into (relatively small volume)
