The ratio of a mass to the volume of a large sample in which the mass

is homogeneously dispersed is known as the concentration.

But the ratio of the mass of a whole sample to the volume

of the whole sample is the density of the substance.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

In order to determine the density of an object, it is necessary to know: the mass, the volume of the substance, and the definition of density.

Density = mass (g)

volume (mL)

If the density of a substance and either mass or volume is known, volume or mass, respectively, can be calculated using either simple algebra or dimensional analysis. The density must be translated as a conversion factor.

Water

The normal pattern for most compounds is that as the temperature of the liquid increases, the density decreases as the molecules spread out from each other. As the temperature decreases, the density increases as the molecules become more closely packed. This pattern does not hold true for ice as the exact opposite occurs.

In liquid water each molecule is hydrogen bonded to approximately 3.4 other water molecules. In ice each molecule is hydrogen bonded to 4 other molecules.

Well, I'll try to answer. "Density" describes the "weight" or something of a material. For example, the higher density, the less things will float in it. Water's density is enough to support beeswax, but olive oil cannot support beeswax. Get it? Mass is the weight of a material. Just the plain weight. Like, a hammer could weigh 6 pounds, which would be the mass. Volume is the compasity. So, the volume could explain how much the substance's compasity is. Mass describes how much it weighs, and density determines what can float or sink in the substance without actually testing. If a substance has a higher density than another substance, then the first will sink in the second. I hope I helped a little bit. =)

Mass is very different from weight.

Mass tells us the amount of matter contained in an object or substance. Weight tells us the gravitational pull affecting the object.

Density is the relation between mass and volume.

D= mass/volume

That's the 'density' of the substance.

Note:

Before you make the measurements,

you need to break off a piece.

How do you calculate the density of a substance?

Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.


When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?

When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.


How much mass there is in a volume of a substance?

If the density of the substance is known, then you can calculate it. Density = Mass/Volume, so Mass = Density x Volume


What is the amount of mass in a give volume of a substance?

The mass of a given volume of a substance depends completely on the density of the substance being analyzed. Density = Mass / Volume


what is the amount of mass given in a given volume of air?

Density of substance = mass of substance / volume mass of substance = density x 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 density of a substance related to its mass and its volume?

Density is the ratio of mass and volume.


The mass per unit volume of a substance is its?

Density = Mass/ volume


How is density of a substance related to is mass and its volume?

Density is mass divided by volume.


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.


If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?

density is mass divided by /volume so mass is density times volume


Why do scientist measure mass and volume?

So they can determine the density of a substance. Density = mass/volume. Density can be used to identify a substance.
