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, a scale measures weight or mass, not volume. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object or substance, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
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.
How many grams in a teaspooon?
Grams measure mass(weight). Teaspoon measures volume so it depends on the substance.
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 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.
