There is some debate among theoretical physicists, about whether matter can exist in zero volume. In a sense, this defies belief, since matter exists in space (and time) and if the volume is zero, there is no space. On the other hand, the mathematical analysis of the gravitational collapse of a star into a black hole suggests that the collapse cannot be stopped, and will continue until volume reaches zero and density reaches infinity, creating an object called a singularity, which is unlike normal matter as we know it. This is a difficult subject to research and it may be a long time before we have a definitive answer. But for now, tentatively, I would have to say that yes, you can have a singularity with zero volume and infinite density, and the substance in the singularity does exist.

What is the volume of gas when the temperature is 0 Celsius?

Answer: computer says no?Answer: Also zero. This is hypothetical; an extrapolation. No real substance can be cooled all the way to zero Kelvin, and no gas would remain a gas at temperatures approaching that temperature.


Will an insoluble compound will partially dissolve in water?

The absolute insolubility doesn't exist; but for an insoluble substance the dissociation is near zero.


Can you change each volume of a substance for mass?

a volume is a 3D measured in cubic metres, has nothing to do with matter (even absolute vacume space has a volume, and since there is NO matter in it its mass is zero): no matter >> no mass, indifferent volume


Why is density a characteristic of a substance and volume and mass are not?

The volume and mass of a substance are independent of the substance itself, but depend upon how much there is of the substance The density of a substance is the relation between how much volume you have of a substance and how much mass that volume has (and vice-versa). It is independent of how much there is of the substance and is thus a characteristic of the substance.


When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?

When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.


If the volume of a substance becomes zero at minus two hundred seventy three degrees so how does the given mass exist?

First of all, volume of no substance becomes zero at -2730C1. This doubt arises when one reads Charle's law. The law states pressure remaining constant, given mass of dry gas increases or decreases 1/273 of it's volume at 00C for every 0C rise or fall in temperature. But this law is applicable to ideal gases only. Molecules of ideal gases are assumed to have zero volume and no intermolecular force of attraction. There are other assumptions as well. It is known that these assumptions are not true. So no gas is ideal. If a gas is not ideal it will not obey this law at all temperatures. At low temperatures real gases deviate much from ideal behavior. So, the volume can't become zero at any temperature. Anyway a substance(here gas) becomes liquid and then solid before reaching -2730C. Charle's law is not valid for solids and liquids. And -2730C is not an achievable temperature as per our present scientific knowledge. 1. -2730C is also called absolute zero or simply zero kelvin. it's actually -273.150C.


Why would you not be able to continue decreasing the volume of a syringe until the volume was zero?

If the volume is zero, then there is no volume left in the syringe to measure.


Is the amount of a substance in a given volume the concentration of the substance?

Ye.. the concentration of a substance is measured as the amount of substance per unit volume. Accordingly, the amount of a substance in per unit volume is the concentration of the substance.


When you divide the mass of a substance by it volume you get what?

When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.


How do you calculate the density of a substance?

Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.


What substance that is calculated by its mass by volume?

No substance is calculated that way. Mass per unit volume is called the density of a substance or object, which is a property or unit of measure of a substance.


What is the amount of mass in a give volume of a substance?

The mass of a given volume of a substance depends completely on the density of the substance being analyzed. Density = Mass / Volume
