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.
Does a scale measure volume?
No, it is used to find the weight or mass of an object.
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.
What determines the density of a substance?
The density of a substance is determined by its mass and volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume. The denser a substance is, the more mass it has in a given volume.
How many grams in a teaspooon?
Grams measure mass(weight). Teaspoon measures volume so it depends on the substance.
How do you calculate the density of a substance?
The density of a substance is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. The formula for density is: Density = Mass / Volume. This calculation gives you a measure of how tightly packed the molecules are in a given sample of the substance.
How the density of a substance can be determined?
Measure the mass and volume of the substance, then divide the mass by the volume.
When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?
You get its density. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained within a specific volume of a substance.
What is the formula of the percent of volume and percent of mass?
% of volume = 100*(volume of substance that you are interested in)/(total volume) % of mass = 100*(mass of substance that you are interested in)/(total mass).
How do you find mass when density is only given?
The relation between mass(M), density(ρ) and volume(V) is given by: M = ρ x V. So mass can be calculated only if both density and volume are known. Density is a measure of amount of substance per unit volume, so mass can't be calculated until the volume of substance is known.
If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
You can find the mass of a substance by using the formula mass = density x volume. Multiply the density of the substance by its volume to calculate the mass.
What determines the density of a substance and how is it calculated?
The density of a substance is determined by its mass and volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume. The formula for density is: Density Mass / Volume.
