Question

A droplet of pure mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the density of a sample of pure mercury that is 10 times as large as the droplet?

Answer 1

A droplet of pure mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the density of a sample of pure mercury that is 10 times as large as the droplet?

Answer: In this case the density will remain constant for both droplets. The reason being that volume will not change the density of the material. The only way of changing it is by changing its state. If you increase the volume then the mass will also increase. Leaving the density the same.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer 2

I think it would be the same

density is an intensive property of the matter, it doesn't change with the change of mass for the same substance, at the same pressure and temperature

hope this helps
