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

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 :)

~Hello there!

Your question: Scientifically is light the fastest thing in the world?

Your answer: Yes! Light is the fastest thing in the world!. Its even proved in the modern physics. Even if the light going through an empty space, its velocity will be constant and steady.

Any queries?

How much pv work is done in kilojoules for the reaction of 0.68 mol of h2 with 0.34 mol of o2 at atmospheric pressure if the vol
dsp73
The delta H of -484 kJ is the heat given off when 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to make 2 moles of H2O. You don't have anywhere near that much reactants, only 1/4 as much

<span>actual delta H = 0.34  moles H2 x (-484 kJ / 2 moles H2) = 823 kJ </span>

<span>delta E = delta H - PdeltaV = 823 kJ - 0.41 kJ = 822 kJ</span>

The concentration of pb2+ in a solution saturated with pbbr2(s) is 2.14 ✕ 10-2 m. calculate ksp for pbbr2.
Ugo [173]
Concentration = 2.14 âś• 10-2 m 
For [Br-], there are 2 ions so 2 x 2.14 x 10^-2 =4.28 x 10^-2  
Ksp = [Pb][Br]^2 = 2.14 âś• 10-2 x (4.28 x 10^-2 )^2 = 39.20 x 10^-6 
Ksp = 3.92 x 10^-5
