Why is it useful to know the density of a substance rather than its mass?

because the mass of a substance is only one part of it but not all of it. The density is everything of a substance including mass and volume

Why is it not necessary to know the volume of a substance when calculating its density?
If you want to CALCULATE the density of an unknown substance, you need to divide its mass by its volume, so you need to measure both first. If it is a homogeneous (uniform) substance, and you can take away a piece, you can take any sample. Any piece of the substance will have the same density.
Why can't you convert kilograms to milliliters?
Kilogram is a unit of mass, millimeters is a unit of volume. However, for a specific substance, you can convert it, if you know the substance's density.Kilogram is a unit of mass, millimeters is a unit of volume.

How is density different than mass?
Mass is the amount of substance an object can have
Can you convert 0.5 mg into mls or ccs?
Provided you know he density of the substance it can be converted
Can you use a graduated cylinder to measure mass?
Yes, provided you know the density of the substance and the substance can be adequately measured by the cylinder. Because density is the quotient of the mass and volume, the mass is the product of the density and volume. So if you multiply the density and volume (assuming the units match), you will find the mass.
What things must you know to find the density of a material?
To find the density of a material all you need to know is the mass and volume of the substance. if you knw the mas and volume...finding out the density is very simple...all you need to do is mass/volume and you will have the density of that substance!
The density of an substance varies with samples of that substance?
that is false because a density is a physical property and as u know physical property can't be changed
What is the density of the mass of 57.33g?
You will like to know the volume of the mass. Mass / volume will give you density. You can not know the density without mass and volume of the substance.
Does a density of the same substance vary or not and why?
i don't know you idiot
What two things must you know about density?
In order to calculate the density of a substance, you must know the volume and the weight of a sample. Then the density is calculated as Density = (Weight) divided by (Volume).
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
How do you convert mass into volume measurements?
You need to know the density of the substance.
How do you convert Cubic meter to Ton?
You need to know the density of the substance.
What is in milliliters 0.001 kilograms?
Milliliters is a unit of volume; kilogram is a unit of mass. If you know the density of a substance, you can do the conversion - otherwise, you don't have enough information.Milliliters is a unit of volume; kilogram is a unit of mass.

If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
density is mass divided by /volume so mass is density times volume

If you know the density of an object how can you use that information to determine the idenity of that object?
from my understanding, I don't see how that would be possible, if I understand correctly. If you know the density, it would be difficult to know much. The density is only how much of that substance exists in a unit of volume. I guess if you knew how the density changed with temperature, then you might be able to recognise the behaviour of the substance and relate that to what it is?
