The Chemist and the Physicist would agree that it has a high density.

The rest of us would remark that it is a very dense substance.

Examples are gold, lead, stone, and my wife's matzoh balls.

When a substance has a large density a mass fits into a volume?

"large density" ===> (relatively large mass) fits into (relatively small volume)


When a substance has a high density a large mass fits into?

a small volume. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Higher density means there is more mass packed into a smaller space.


What has greater volume a cone or frustum?

A large cone has a greater volume than a small frustum while a small cone has a smaller volume than a large frustum


Do objects with a high density have a small volume for their mass?

No, Density is directly proportional to mass; Density increases as the mass increases, density decreases when mass decreases. Density is inversely proportional to volume; Density decreases when volume increases, density increases when volume decreases.


How do you find volume if mass is given but density isn't?

You can't. The same mass can have a lot of different volumes, depending on the substance. Examples: A kilogram of stone or lead has a small volume. A kilogram of water has a medium volume. A kilogram of the air inside your house has a large volume.


When a substance has a lot of mass packed into a small volume it is said to be?

Dense


Does every substance have its own mass-to-volume ratio?

Yes, the mass-to-volume ratio - commonly called the density - is a typical amount for any substance. For example, you can have a large block of lead, which is heavy, and a small block of lead, which is much lighter. But the density (mass-to-volume ratio) will be the same for both - about 11,000 kg/m3.


Imagine an elevator crowded with too many passengers for such a small space. This situation would be a good analogy for a substance with what property?

This situation could be an analogy for a substance with high density, where a large amount of mass is packed into a small volume. Just like the crowded elevator, the particles in a dense substance are tightly packed together.


Why is density considered a characteristic property of a substance but mass and voluje are not?

Density is considered a characteristic property because it remains constant regardless of the sample size, whereas mass and volume can vary based on the size of the sample. Mass and volume are extensive properties that depend on the amount of substance present, whereas density is an intensive property that describes the relationship between mass and volume.


What is the movement of a substance from where it is in large amounts to where it is in small amounts called?

diffusion


Which is more effective single extraction with a large volume of solvent or several small volume extraction?

Several small volumes is more effective.


How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?

A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
