What would the meaning of a nonzero y - intercept to a graph of total mass versus volume?
Technically, a non-zero y-intercept can't exist in such a graph. If you were looking at such a graph, it was probably because they cut it short, and were just showing part of it.
When can the slope of a graph represent density-?
When the vertical axis represents "number of things" and the horizontal represents "volume of the thing"---slope is change in vertical over change in horizontal, so units of the slope would be "number/volume", which is density.
Volume of air formula?
Volume = mass / Density Mass = Volume * Density Density = Mass / Volume
What is density what is the formula how would you solve for volume how would you solve for mass?
density = mass / volume Solving for mass: mass = density x volume Solving for volume: volume = mass / density
What are mathematical formulas to explain how mass volume and density are related?
Density = mass/volume Mass = (density) x (volume) Volume = mass/density
What is determined by mass versus volume?
mass / volume = density

What value should theoretically be obtained for the intercept on a graph of mass vs volume HINT The intercept corresponds to zero mass and zero volume?
The intercept on a graph of mass vs. volume should be zero, as this point represents zero mass and zero volume. This makes sense because with no mass and no volume, there should be no measurements of mass either.
What does the slope of mass vs volume graph represent?
The slope of a mass vs volume graph represents the density of the material being measured. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a material. The steeper the slope, the higher the density of the material.
Why mass and volume measurements for any sample of liquid should fall along the graph line?
mass and volume measurements for any sample liquid should fall along the graph line because liquids have a constant density. Density is mass over volume. Mass equals density which is a constant time volume.
How do you graph mass vs volume?
To graph mass vs volume, plot mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis. Each data point will represent a specific object or substance, showing how mass changes with different volumes. The relationship between mass and volume can help determine density, which is a key property of the material being examined.
Why is a graph of the amount of a particular element in moles versus the mass of element in grams is a straight like?
Because the relation is of proportionality.
How are slope of the line and density of the material related?
Density is the slope of the line. density = mass/volume = constant. Since mass and volume have a linear relationship, then that constant is also the slope of the line on a graph of a comparison of mass to volume ratios.
Look at the graph What happens to the mass if the volume is tripled?
If the volume is tripled while the density remains constant, the mass would also triple. This relationship is based on the formula: ( \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} ). Triple the volume would result in triple the mass if density stays the same.
When can the slope of a graph represent density-?
When the vertical axis represents "number of things" and the horizontal represents "volume of the thing"---slope is change in vertical over change in horizontal, so units of the slope would be "number/volume", which is density.
What is the formula for ml to mg?
There is no general conversion, since they measure different things (volume versus mass). You need to know the density of a specific material to do the conversion for that material, and apply the formula: mass = volume x density
How many Mg's does 8 milliliter's equal?
You can't just convert one to the other - they measure different things (mass versus volume). For a specific material, if you know the density, you can use the formula: mass = volume x density
