No, volume and mass are related but they are not the same. As an example, 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kg whereas 1 liter of Mercury has a much higher mass. Mathematically, Mass divided by volume is equal to density. Mass has units of Kg and volume has units of m3.

What is the same with mass and volume?

Both mass and volume are physical properties of matter that help to describe its characteristics. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while volume refers to the amount of space it occupies. They are both important in determining the density of an object, which is mass divided by volume.


If mass stays the same and density decreases then the volume does what?

If mass stays the same and density decreases, then the volume must increase. This is because density is mass divided by volume, so if density decreases while mass remains constant, the volume must increase to maintain the same mass.


Why can two objects with the same mass and volume have the same density?

the volume could be different that could lead to the same density. For example: d=m/v so you would have a mass of 10 for compound A and a mass of 5 for compound B, and the volume of compound A is 2 and the volume of compound B has a volume of 1. Therefore both densities equal 5.


What is mass divided by its volume?

Any extensive quantity divided by volume is called that quantity density .A baby's mass is small, a baby's volume is small ; but its average mass density (mass divided by volume) is the same as for anyone - anyone composed of the same materials, in the same fractions.


Why are volume and mass not characteristic properties of matter?

A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample you are observing is large or small. Therefore, mass and volume are measurements of how much of a thing you have rather than classifying.

Are volume and mass the same thing?

If they were, then we would not need two different words for the same thing.


When mass decreases what does volume do?

Assuming you are talking about the same thing, this can be shown through the density equation: Mass = Density by volume. Assuming density stays the same, if mass decreases, volume should proportionally decrease

Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?

Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.


What we called thing that has volume and mass?

If it has volume and mass, we call it matter.


Are mass and volume the exact same thing?

mass is how much somthing weighs and volumes is how much liquid an object can hold


Is Mass in density the same thing?

No, mass and density are not the same thing. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, while density is a measure of how much mass is in a certain volume, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.


If two objects have the same volume and density do they ave the same mass?

Yes, if two objects have the same volume and density, they will have the same mass. This is because mass is calculated by multiplying density and volume; therefore, having the same density and volume means the objects will have the same mass.


Why do two samples with the same substance with the same volume HAVE to have the same mass?

Because they are of the same substance they have the same density density = mass/volume


If A sponge and a brick that are the same size they have the same what?

no; they have the same volume but their mass is quite different; density is mass/volume and the sponge has much lower density


If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?

No, two objects with the same mass can have different volumes if they have different densities. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume. For example, a bar of gold and a bar of aluminum can have the same mass but different volumes due to their different densities.


Do ounce and milliliters mean the same thing?

No, a milliliter (or milliletre) is a unit of volume, whereas an ounce is a unit of mass.
