Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object and has nothing whatsoever to do with the molecular composition of the object. The volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of lead is exactly the same as the volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of butter or a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of anything for that matter. Lead and butter have a great many differences, but volume isn't a measure of any of them.

Lead has a greater volume than butter due to its higher density. Lead is a metal with a much denser mass per unit volume compared to butter, which is a dairy product with a much lower density.

∙ 15y agoSince butter will occupy more space than an equal weight of lead, I would guess that butter has a greater volume.

Which is denser a kilogram of water or a kilogram of lead?
A kilogram of water and a kilogram of lead have the same mass, but lead is denser than water. Lead has a higher density because it has more mass packed into a smaller volume compared to water.
What weighs more a pound of lead or fethers?
A pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers. The weight is the same, but the volume of feathers will be much greater than that of lead.
Does volume change with melting butter?
Yes, the volume of butter may change slightly when melting because the solid butter will take up less space compared to the liquid form. When butter melts, it loses its solid structure and may spread out to occupy a larger space.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Do Particles of a liquid decrease in volume with increasing temp?
In general, the volume of particles in a liquid tends to increase with increasing temperature. This is because higher temperatures typically lead to greater thermal motion of the particles, causing them to spread out and occupy more space.
Which has greater weight a kilogram of butter of kilogram of lead what is greater density which has greater volume?
They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.
Which has the greatest volume a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead?
Butter has greater volume than lead because butter has more mass.
Which has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?
They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.
Which has greater volume lead or feathers?
the same
Will the volume of lead be greater or less than one gram of water?
The volume of lead will be less than one gram of water. Lead is denser than water, so it takes up less space for the same mass.
Which has a greater volume lead in water or glass in water?
This depends on the mass.
What has greater volume 1 gram of lead or 1 gram of aluminum?
aluminium
Does water have a greater mass than lead?
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
If samples of lead and silver each had volumes to 1 cm which would have greater mass?
The mass of lead would be greater, as lead has a higher density compared to silver. Density is mass divided by volume, so even if both samples have the same volume, the lead sample would be heavier due to its higher density.
Which has a greater volume 1 g of lead or 1 g of water?
It depends on if they are solid or liquid.
Would a kilogram of butter weigh more or a kilogram of lead?
Both would weigh 1 Kilogram with a difference of volume.
Is the volume of gold 20g greater than the volume of lead 10g?
We need to calculate the volume of a metal from the density to be sure. Density of pure gold = 19.3  g·cm-3Density of pure lead = 11.34  g·cm-3The volume of 20 g of gold = mass/density = 20 [g] / 19.3  g·cm-3 = 1.036 cm3 The volume of 10 g of lead = mass/density = 10 [g] / 11.34  g·cm-3 = 0.882 cm3 Hence, the volume of 20 g of gold is slightly greater than that of 10 g of lead. =========================
