What can you say about density if volume increase and mass stays the same

Chemistry

Density = <u>mass
</u>               volume 
<u>
</u>For the sake of explanation, let's pretend the mass is 2g and the volume is 1 ml
<u>
</u>Density = <u>2 g </u>= 2 g/ml
<u />               1 ml

Now if we increase the volume, and leave the mass the same then mass is still 2g, but we can increase the volume to 2 ml 

Density = <u>2 g  </u> = 1 g/ml<u>
</u>               2 ml
<u>
</u>Therefore we can say that <em>if volume increases and mass stays the same, then density will decrease</em>.<u>

Well we know that density is equal to mass by volume, written scientifically as such:
<span>ρ = m/v
</span>Let's plug in some numbers to see how this looks, we'll say the object weighs 1 kg and it's volume is 2 cm^3
Thus, <span>ρ = 1 kg / 2 cm^3
So, density in this case is equal to 1/2 kg for every cm^3.
Now let's increase the volume and keep the mass. We'll double the volume.
</span><span>ρ = 1 kg / 4 cm^3
</span>Now the density comes out to 1/4 kg for every cm^3, which is obviously less. 
We've come to the conclusion, then, that as volume increases and mass stays the same, density decreases. Therefore volume and density are inversely proportioned.

This makes sense mathematically, but does it make sense if we just think about it? It invariably does.
What is density? Density is just how much mass is stuck in a certain space. As such, when you increase that space, but keep the mass, the mass will be more sparsely distributed.
Think of it like this, you've a small room filled to the brim with toys, should you increase the room size, but keep the same amount of toys, then the toys would be further spread apart.
It is the same way with mass and volume.
Hope this helps :)

What happens when liquid magma is cooled
Vaselesa [24]
Magma that cools quickly forms one kind of igneous rock, and magma that cools slowly forms another kind. When magma rise from deep within the earth and explodes out of a volcano, it is called lava, and it cools quickly on the surface. Rock formed in this way is called extrusive igneous rock.

How many parts per million of lead is found in 250 ml of water if there is 1.30g of lead in the water? 1ml=1g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

5200 ppm

Explanation:

As per the definition, parts per million of a contaminant is a measure of the amount of mass of contaminant present per million amount of the solution. It is denoted by ppm.

Given in the question,

Water = 250 ml = 250 g

Lead = 1.30 g

So,

ppm of Lead = \frac{Lead}{Water} \times 10^6 = \frac{1.30}{250} \times 10^6 = 5200 ppm

So, as calculated above, there is 5200 ppm of lead present in 250 ml of water.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Cell theory states that all the living organisms are made up of basic structural and functional units, cells. All cells divide and give rise to new cells. All the cells have similar chemical composition. The nuclei acid DNA present in the chromosomes helps in carrying hereditary information from generation to generation. So, in order to sustain life the cells must contain DNA either enclosed in the nucleus or freely floating in the cytoplasm.

At standard pressure, ammonia melts at 195 K and boils at 240 K. If a sample of ammonia at standard pressure is cooled from 200
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

I) the heat capacity of ammonia(s)

II) the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ)

IV) the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia

Explanation:

Initially, ammonia at 200 K is liquid. To calculate the change of enthalpy from 200 K to 195 K (melting point) we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ).

At 195, ammonia is in the transition from liquid to solid (solidification). To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the enthalpy of solidification of ammonia, which has the same value but opposite sign to the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia.

From 195 K to 0 K, ammonia is solid. To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(s).
