Explanation:
Density of a substance is defined as mass divided by its volume.
Mathematically, Density =
So, density is proportional to the mass of substance. Hence, an increase in mass will lead to increase in density of the substance also.
Whereas density is inversely proportional to volume of a substance. Hence, an increase in volume will lead to a decrease in density of the substance.
So, when densities of two objects that have the same volume, but one feels heavier than the other then it means mass of one object is greater than the other.
Hence, density of one object is greater than the other. That is why, one feels heavier than the other.

Explanation:tr
a) Molar mass of HF = 20 g/mol
Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol
Atomic mass of fluorine = 19 g/mol
Percentage of an element in a compound:
Percentage of fluorine:
Percentage of hydrogen:
b) Mass of hydrogen in 50 grams of HF sample.
Moles of HF =
1 mole of HF has 1 mole of hydrogen atom.
Then 2.5 moles of HF will have:
of hydrogen atom.
Mass of 2.5 moles of hydrogen atom:
1 g/mol × 2.5 mol = 2.5 g
2.5 grams of hydrogen would be present in a 50 g sample of this compound.
c) As we solved in part (a) that HF molecules has 5% of hydrogen by mass.
Then mass of hydrogen in 50 grams of HF compound we will have :
5% of 50 grams of HF =
