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.

Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?
The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.
Why does mass and volume affect density?
The density of a substance is its mass divided by its volume. So for the same volume the higher the mass, the higher the density.
Density has the ratio of what to what?
Density is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance.
What substance can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume?
It's not exactly a "substance" but Density = Mass / Volume
How would you calculate the density of a substance?
Density = Mass/Volume so you need to measure the mass of the substance and divide by the volume that it occupies.
How do you calculate the density of a substance?
Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.
What characteristic property measured in grams per cubic centimeter that tells a substance's mass per until volume?
Density...........Mass/volume=density
When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?
When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.
How much mass there is in a volume of a substance?
If the density of the substance is known, then you can calculate it. Density = Mass/Volume, so Mass = Density x Volume
Is mass characteristic property?
No definitely not.Because a characteristic property should not change.It is used to identify a substance.Mass and Volume are not characteristic properties whereas Density is a characteristic property of the substance .
What is the amount of mass in a give volume of a substance?
The mass of a given volume of a substance depends completely on the density of the substance being analyzed. Density = Mass / Volume
what is the amount of mass given in a given volume of air?
Density of substance = mass of substance / volume mass of substance = density x volume
Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?
The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.
What is the density of a substance related to its mass and its volume?
Density is the ratio of mass and volume.
The mass per unit volume of a substance is its?
Density = Mass/ volume
How is density of a substance related to is mass and its volume?
Density is mass divided by volume.
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.
