Does changing the volume of a particular substance change its mass to volume ratio?

mass to volume ratio is nothing but density
density is inversely proportional to volume hence if volume decreases density will increase and vice-versa

Will changing the volume of a container filled with gas change the mass of the gas?
No
Is Mass a measure of how much density is in a volume of a substance?
No, but they are related. Density = mass / volume. Mass is often informally called the "amount of substance".It can be measured by its gravitational effects (mass in kilograms or pounds, actually any 'weight'),or by its inertia (the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass).Better statement would be:Density is a measure of how much mass is in a certain volume of a particular substance.
Which substance can be compressed in a jar to change its volume?
A jar has a fixed volume.
Does changing the volume of water chang the density?
Density = mass / volume. So if the volume changes, the density will obviously also change.
What does not change in solid matter?
Physical properties can be tested without changing the substance a new substance. Color, density, volume and melting and/or boiling point are examples of physical properties that can be observed and/or tested.
How can you change density of a substance?
You can change the density of a substance by changing its volume. Density is equivalent to mass over volume. So changing the volume affects density.
What is a property of a substance that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance?
Anything that has mass and occupies volume is called matter. In any substance its volume can vary but the mass is its intrinsic property. Mass of a particular substance remains the same anywhere we go but that is not the case for weight of a substance.
What means the number of particles in a particular volume and substance?

How can volume change if a substance undergoes a chemical change?
If a substance undergoes a chemical change, its properties change. For example, water, when heated turns into a gas which has a higher volume.
How can density be changed without changing the make up of the substance?
reduce the volume of the substance by compression or increase the volume of the substance by decompression This assumes the substance is compressible, such as air. In the case of water, you can't.
How can you change the overall density of an object?
In a simple way, since density = mass /volume, the density of an object can be changed by changing either mass or volume of an object .
How could density be used to determine the mass of particular volume of a substance?
In a set volume of any substance increasing the density increases its mass
How could density be used to determine the mass of a particular volume of a substance?
In a set volume of any substance increasing the density increases its mass
How does the volume and density of a substance change when it is heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated, causing a decrease in density.
Does the volume of an object change if heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated
Why is a change in the volume of a substance a physical change?
It's because no new substance is formed. It's the same substance just bigger or smaller.
What happens to the density of a substance if you change the amount or shape of that substance?
nothing happpens. changing the shape doesnt do anything and adding more doesnt do anything either. the density will change tho if you add another chemical or substanceansthe above comment is correct. Unless you applied a force that changed its overall volume of course, whilst changing its shape.
