Density is an intensive quantity which means it is independent of size. This can be seen from the definition of density. Density = mass/volume So if the sample size increases than so does the mass, but the density remains unchanged.

What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.


Can you list four size independent properties?

Properties independent of size include temperature, melting point, hardness and density.


Why does the density of a substance not change with the sample size?

The density of a substance does not change with the sample size because density is an intrinsic property of the material, determined by its mass and volume. As you increase the sample size, both the mass and volume of the substance increase proportionally, resulting in no change in density. This relationship is described by the formula density = mass/volume, which remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance being measured.


The density of the substance is the same for all samples of the substance true or false?

Any sample size of a particular substance will have the same density.


Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure three different samples of the same uniform substance will have the same?

Density reason is that the density of a uniform material is constant Density is independent of the size and shape of the sample.


Does the density of a substance change depending on how much of it you have?

No. Density is an INTRINSIC property, and as such it does NOT depend on the size of the sample.


Is it true that the density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?

Yes, density is an intrinsic property of a substance and remains constant regardless of the sample size or quantity. The formula for density is density = mass/volume, and this relationship holds true for all samples of the same substance.


What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.


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.


What are examples of a size independent?

Size-independent properties are characteristics that do not change with the size of the system or object. Examples include density, which remains constant regardless of the amount of substance, and boiling point, which is intrinsic to the material itself. Other examples are the refractive index and specific heat capacity, both of which are material properties that do not vary with the size of the sample.


Does density change if the sample of the same matter is larger?

No density if a characteristic of matter. Density can vary with temperature and pressure, but a chunk of something twice the volume of another chunk of the same substance will weigh twice as much because the two chunks have the same density.


Does sample size affect Density of a substance?

Not in normal circumstances. But if your sample contains only one atom, density becomes irrelevant, because practically all the mass is concentrated into the nucleus which is an object of extremely small size, much, much, much smaller than the size of the atom. Equally if the size becomes star-sized the gravity in some circumstances causes the very atoms to be crushed so that protons and electrons are crushed to form neutrons all packed tightly together and the density becomes literally astronomical ("neutron stars").
