Question

Three substances with the exact same mass but different volumes were measured in order to determine the density of each one. Which one will have the greatest density?
Group of answer choices

a) The substance with the greatest volume because increasing the volume always increases the density.

b) The substance with the smallest volume because the particles will be more packed together.

c) Their densities should be the same since their masses are equal.

Answer 1

b) The substance with the smallest volume because the particles will be more packed together.

Explanation:

The substance with the smallest volume will have the greatest density because the particles will be more packed together.

Density is the ratio of the mass to the volume of a body.

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.

Volume is the space occupied by a substance

          Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

 We can see that density is directly proportional to mass. The more the mass of body. the higher the density.

 Also, volume is inversely proportional to density. A substance with a large volume will have low density because it is not well packed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is B) The substance with the smallest volume because the particles will be more packed together.

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be described as mass per volume of the object. The density of an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to its volume. This means that as the volume increases, the density of an object decreases. As the mass of an object increases, density also increases.

Hence, a subject which has the smallest volume will have the greatest density.
