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.
What would be the units of measurement for volume and mass?
In the metric system, the units of measurement of Volume is the Liter (sometimes spelled Litre) and the measurement for mass would be the gram. In the American system, the units of measurement for Volume is the ounce, and for mass would be the pound.
What substance can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume?
It's not exactly a "substance" but Density = Mass / 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 formula of the percentage by mass and volume?
Percentage by Mass = Mass of substance of interest/Total Mass Percentage by Volume = Volume of substance of interest/Total Volume Converting from one to the other requires information about their relative densities.
What is the measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in unit of volume?
The relevant measurement is density.
What is percent by mass over volume?
Percent by mass over volume is a measurement that expresses the mass of a substance in a given volume as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by the volume of the solution and then multiplying by 100. This measurement is commonly used in chemistry to quantify the concentration of a solute in a solution.
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 is the measurement of how much mass a substance is contained in a unit of volume?
Density is the measurement of how much mass a substance contains in a unit of volume. It is typically expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per liter.
To measure how much stuff is a specified volume of a substance scientist use?
They would use density to measure the volume of a 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.
What is the mass of a known volume of a substance measured in grams or kilograms?
Mass and volume use different units of measure. Mass uses grams as a unit of measurement; however 1000 grams equals 1 kilogram. Volume is measure by liters.
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).
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 substance that is calculated by its mass by volume?
No substance is calculated that way. Mass per unit volume is called the density of a substance or object, which is a property or unit of measure of a substance.
