Take three identical bottles. Fill one with air, one with water, and one with stones.

The volumes of all three bottles are the same, but their weights are different, because

they contain different masses.

Different substances can easily have different masses in the same volume. That's why

the concept of "density" is so useful.

How are calculating the densities of regular or irregular substances different?

Regular- Find masses the same way. Volume- Regular-Height times length times width Volume- Irregular- Look up displacement on the internet. Density- Divide mass by volume. These are basic facts.


If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?

different densities. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so if two solids have the same mass but different volumes, their densities will be different. The solid with the smaller volume will have a higher density, while the solid with the larger volume will have a lower density.


How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?

Since density=Mass/volume. If 2 solutions have the same volumes, they would have different densities because their masses are different. More explanations. For example same volume of aluminum and iron would have different mass because the atomic mass of aluminum is comparatively less than that of iron. Aluminium has nearly mass 27 amu where as iron has 56 amu. The crystalline structure would bring the atoms with different lattice distances and so the density would differ. Answer Objects of same volume have different density because as Density is equal to mass over volume so according to this relation volume and density are inverseley propotional to each others so when we increase volume density decrease so two solutions can have same volume and different densities.

Is it possible for two substances of the same volume to have a different mass but the same density?

No


Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?

Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.

How gram is equal to 1 spoon?

A spoon is a measure of volume. Different substances have different densities so that the same volume of two substances can have very different masses.


When you compare masses of the same volume of different substances you are doing what?

You are comparing their densities. Density is a measure of how much mass is present in a given volume. By comparing the masses of the same volume of different substances, you can determine which substance is more or less dense than the others.


Is density the volume of equal masses of substances?

yes


How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?

Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)


Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?

Yes, two objects with the same volume can have different masses if they are made of materials with different densities. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume, so objects of the same volume but different densities will have different masses.


Equal volumes always mean equal masses?

Not necessarily. Equal volumes do not always mean equal masses because different substances have different densities. Denser substances will have more mass in a given volume compared to less dense substances.


Can something have the same volume but a different mass?

Yes, it is possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses if they are made of different materials with varying densities. Density is the measure of how tightly packed the molecules are in a substance, so objects with different densities can have the same volume but different masses.


How can 2 objects have the same volume but different densities?

Two objects can have the same volume but different densities if they have different masses. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if the masses of the two objects are different even though their volumes are the same, their densities will also be different.

Regular- Find masses the same way. Volume- Regular-Height times length times width Volume- Irregular- Look up displacement on the internet. Density- Divide mass by volume. These are basic facts.


Could two subjects with the same volume have different masses?

Definitely. Let's be a little unscientific for a moment. Let's say you had a 1 cup measure(volume). If you fill the cup with cotton the mass would be different from a cup filled with lead.The difference is the density of the substances in question


Can different kinds of matter take up the same amount of space but have different masses?

Yes. The amount of space matter takes up is volume. Different substances have different densities, which are calculated by mass divided by volume most commonly in the unit g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter). Mass depends on the nucleus/i of the substance, while volume depends on its nucleus/i as well as the electrical field formed by the repulsion of electrons.


How can the volume of two substances be the same but the mass be different?

They have different densities.
