No. You have defined the "density" of the substance, not its weight.

Added:

  1. "Density" is also called "specific mass"
  2. Weight and mass are commonly speaking the same,

    but strictly speaking 'mass' is rather an amount of matter,

    and 'weight' is the measured gravitational force (heaviness, measured on a balance) of that mass.

(A mass of 1 kg will 'weight' also 1 kg on earth but does not 'weight' 1 kg on the moon, there it's about 150 g due to lower gravity!)

What is the difference between percentage by weight and volume?

They are different in non-homogeneous mixtures. Here's an example. If you put a few drops of water in a balloon, the contents are 99.9% (or so) water by weight and 99.9% (or so) air by volume.


How do you calculate the density of dextrose?

The density of any substance can be easily calculated knowing that it is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance divided by the volume it occupies.


What is weight divided by volume?

Weight divided by volume is density. Usually it is expressed as mass divided by volume. That is why a unit for density will be something like grams/liter, because mass is on the top and volume on the bottom.


Is density defined as a mass per unit of weight?

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, not mass per unit weight. It is a measure of how much mass is contained in a specific volume of a substance.


What is density dependent on?

mass density or densityof a material is its mass per unit volume. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume.


What is the Mass of an object divided by amount of substance?

(Mass) divided by (Volume) is defined as the density of the sample or object.


What is defined as the amount of substance per unit of volume?

The amount of substance per unit of volume is defined as concentration in terms of chemistry. The amount of substance refers to the quantity over the volume.


How do you calculate density from molecular weight?

Density can be calculated from molecular weight using the formula density = (molecular weight) / (molar volume). Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of the substance and can be calculated using the ideal gas law or experimental data. Dividing the molecular weight by the molar volume gives the density of the substance.


What is the substance that has a defined volume but an undefined shape?

A substance that has a defined volume but an undefined shape is a liquid. Liquids take the shape of their container but maintain a fixed volume.
