Why density is the criteria for purity with respect to chemistry?

Mass and volume are extensive properties, which are dependent upon the size of the sample. A larger sample will have a greater mass and volume than a smaller sample. Density is an intensive property, which does not depend on the size of the sample. Density is a ratio of mass to volume, which does not vary with the size of the sample. The density of a larger sample will be the same as the density of a smaller sample.

Uses of Quantitative chemistry in daily life?
It is used to determine the content and purity of food.Police officers get benefit by testing blood alcohol content of suspected drunk drivers.It helps to ensure the pharmaceuticals strength and purity.
What is the unit of measurement for jade?
The answer depends on what character of jade is being measured: its purity, hardness, mass, density, colour etc.
What does density depend on?
The density of a material depends on the mass and the volume of that material. In order to find the density of a material you must multiple the mass of the material and the volume of the material.
How can you test the purity of tungsten?
test tungsten purity
Is purity a noun?
Yes the word purity is a noun. It is the state of being pure.
What is purity criteria?
The criteria of purity of a compund isÊdetermined at it melting point.ÊA pure compound a definate melting point. While an impure substance has an indefinate melting point.
What is the density of gold in a ring and in a necklace compared?
If the gold is of the same purity the density will be the same.
How can you use density to determine the purity of diamonds?
Density of a diamond a purity are not exactly related, unless you are determining the purity of industrial diamonds. We did find a chemistry question on Chegg that may reveal how: "In a purity check for industrial diamonds, a 11.25 carat (1 carat = 0.2000 g) diamond is heated to 74.21°C and immersed in 27.30 g of water in a constant-pressure calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water is 27.20°C. Calculate ?T of the water and of the diamond (cdiamond = 0.519 J/g·K). ?Twater _____ K ?Tdiamond ______ K"
What physical property is used to test the purity of metal?

The Purity && The Shape AND size density
How do you get a girl that has a purity ring sleep with you?
You can't. You should respect her purity ring and her beliefs! Don't force or you'll be kicked to the curb
What property of matter is density?
Density depends on temperature, pressure and purity of a material.
Is the density of 8 mL of water greater than equal to or smaller than the density of 4 mL of water?
It depends upon the temperatures and purity of the two quantities of water. If they are both at the same temperature and both have the same purity, they will both have the same density as density does not depend upon the volume, but the substance itself. If they are at different temperatures, or have different purities, then they will have different densities, but which would be greater would depends upon which has which temperature and which purity.
Why does the density of a gold alloy increase if the purity increases?
it makes it worth more

How can you determine molarity from percent purity of solution?
Molarity is the no of moles of solute dissolved per litre of a solution. now if u want to find it from the percentage purity , here is the formula for that Molarity = % purity x density x 10 ___________________ molar weight of the solute note : density is usually given %purity problems, if its not u can evualvate it from from formula { d= mass/volume} i hope it solves the problem
