When dissolving a substance in a solvent, the volume of the solution increases because the two substances combine. The mass of the solution remains constant, as the total mass before and after dissolving is the same, but it is distributed between the solute and the solvent.

What happens when density expands?

density is a measure of mass that is contained in a unit of volume for a particular substance. it increases it cannot expand if we say that density is increasing it means that either mass has increased or volume has decreased like on cooling volume decreases. on mixing(chemically or dissolving) mass increases.


Does the mass of a solution affect the rate of solubility?

In a high volume of solution dissolving is faster.


What happens to mass r when volume increases?

If the volume of an object increases, and the mass remains the same, the density of the object will decrease. This is because density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if volume increases and mass stays the same, density decreases.


What happens to volume if density increases?

Density = mass / volume. Therefore, if volume increases and mass doesn't change, density will obviously decrease.


How does dissolving salt in water change the density of the water?

The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.


What the mass of a material in a given volume called?

It is the mass in that volume. There is no special name unless the volume happens to be a unit volume on some measurement scale.


How do you find the volume of a sphere giving the mass and density?

Volume of anything = (its mass) divided by (its density) regardless of what shape it happens to be.


What happens to density if the volume increase?

must decrease


What happens to mass if the volume is tripled?

If the volume is tripled while mass remains constant, the density (mass/volume) of the object decreases. This means that the object becomes less dense as the same amount of mass becomes spread over a larger volume.


What happens to the mass of the volume is tripled?

If the volume is tripled, the mass will stay the same as long as the substance remains constant. Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and is not affected by the volume it occupies. The density of the substance will decrease as the volume increases.


If density increases and mass stays the same then what happens to the volume?

the density increases


When mass and volume change what happens to the density?

When mass increases and volume stays constant, the density increases. When volume increases and mass stays constant the density decreases. When they both change, then the density will depend on the rate of change of mass and the rate of change of volume.
