Depends on the other conditions. If the volume remains constant, the density will remain the same (but the pressure will increase). If the pressure remains constant, the volume will increase - and therefore the density (mass / volume) will decrease.

What happens to the density of an object if the mass increases but the volume stays the same?

If the volume remains the same, the density will increase in direct proportion to the increase in mass.


Explain what will happen to the mass volume and density of a liquid as the temperature increases?

As temperature increases, the volume of a liquid generally expands due to increased kinetic energy of the molecules causing them to move farther apart. The mass of the liquid remains the same. Consequently, the density of the liquid decreases because density is mass divided by volume, and with volume increasing and mass remaining constant, density decreases.


What is happening to the substances mass and volume to cause this decrease in density?

As the mass of a substance increases while its volume stays constant, its density will also increase. Conversely, if the mass of the substance stays constant while its volume increases, the density will decrease. This is because density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.


Does mass or volume affect the density of the substance?

Density is determined by the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Therefore, both mass and volume do affect the density of a substance. If the mass increases without a corresponding increase in volume, the density will increase. Conversely, if the volume increases without a corresponding increase in mass, the density will decrease.


If mass increases and volume stays the same then density decreases?

Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.Density is mass / volume. Therefore, when mass decreases, density will also decrease.

When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid its density normally decreases. What is happening to the substance's mass and volume to cause this decrease in density?

A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.


What two things affect density?

The two main factors that affect density are the mass of an object and its volume. An increase in mass or a decrease in volume will lead to an increase in density, whereas a decrease in mass or an increase in volume will result in a decrease in density.


How does a change volume affect an objects density when mass stays the same?

With constant mass, a decrease in volume will increase the the density. Conversely, an increase in volume will decrease the density.


What happens to density if the volume increase?

must decrease


Will density decrease or increase if mass stays same but volume increases?

density decreases


When mass increase and volume states the same does density increase or decrease?

If mass increases while volume stays the same, then density will increase. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so if mass increases and volume remains constant, the resulting density will be higher.


Why does the density of a liquid increase when it is more concentrated?

The density is the ratio mass/volume; increasing the the concentration the mass and density are increased.


What happens to the density of an object if the mass increases but the volume stays the same?

If the volume remains the same, the density will increase in direct proportion to the increase in mass.


What happens to density if you change the volume and mass?

If you increase both the volume and mass of an object proportionally, the density will remain the same. However, if you increase the mass while keeping the volume constant, the density will increase. Likewise, if you increase the volume while keeping the mass constant, the density will decrease.


Explain what will happen to the mass volume and density of a liquid as the temperature increases?

As temperature increases, the volume of a liquid generally expands due to increased kinetic energy of the molecules causing them to move farther apart. The mass of the liquid remains the same. Consequently, the density of the liquid decreases because density is mass divided by volume, and with volume increasing and mass remaining constant, density decreases.


Would solid to liquid increase or decrease?

The mass remains the same.


If mass decreases does density increase?

No its density decreases assuming volume remains constant. Density is defined as mass / volume, so if mass (the numerator) decreases but volume (the denominator) doesn't change, the quotient will decrease.
