How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?

Physics

I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Adding more of a substance has no effect on its density.  The formula for density is:

Density = (mass) divided by (volume).

If you doubled the volume of your sample of the substance, then you also doubled the mass of the sample.  So when you divide (mass) by (volume), you still get the same number.  The density doesn't change.

m = 43.2 kg

Explanation:

volume of sphere = (4/3)pi(r)^3

= (4/3)(3.14)(2 m)^3

= 33.5 m^3

density = mass/volume

or solving for mass m,

m = (density)×(volume)

= (1.29 kg/m^3)(33.5 m^3)

= 43.2 kg

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical
forsale [732]

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical is false.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The water pollution may be caused either by chemicals or waste materials that doesn’t contain chemicals such as domestic wastes, organic compounds, heavy metals etc. The life on Earth mostly relies on water and air, and if these two gets polluted; the results will be dangerous.

Around 70% of the planet is covered with water and the present state of its purity is a matter of a serious thought. Looking over various pollutants, only chemical wastes are not responsible to pollute the water.

Instead, there is range of elements from plastic scraps to chemical wastes that comes from either the non-point sources or the point sources. There are organic waste materials, heavy metals, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are also responsible to contaminate water and affect the amphibians as well as humans.

True [87]
The government should put it support in a combination of sources, as no source in the present can fully provide all energy requirements.

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13,  so it has 13 protons. In its natural state, it does not have a charge,  so it has an equal amount of electrons, 13. The atomic mass of aluminum is approximately 27. Since protons and neutrons make up that mass, and each of the particles are around 1 atomic mass unit, if there are 13 protons, then there are 27-13 neutrons, or 14 neutrons. So the first answer choice is correct.
