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 :)

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.
malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.

Oxygen decays to form nitrogen.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11O to 26O have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15O with a half-life of 122.24 seconds, while the shortest-lived isotope is 12O with a half-life of 580(30)×10−24 seconds (the half-life of the unbound 11O is still unknown).

Some glucose produced by gluconeogenesis is stored in the body as glycogen. Order the steps of glycogen synthesis.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

e. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose-I-phosphate and UTP to UDP-glucose and PPi

a. Pyrophosphatase converts PPi and water into two Pi

b. Glycogen synthase adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and UDP

Explanation:

Glycogen synthesis or glycogenesis is the process of synthesis of glycogen molecules from glucose molecules in living organisms. Glycogen is a polysaccharide storage form of glucose and helps to store excess glucose in the body form use when required by the body.

The synthesis of glycogen involves sugar nucleotides. Sugar nucleotides are compounds in which a sugar molecule is attached to a nucleotide through phosphate ester bond, resulting in the activation of the sugar molecule. The sugar nucleotides then are used as substrates for the polymerization of the monosaccharide sugars into disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.

In the synthesis of glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate from phosphorylation of free glucose by hexokinase is first isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase.

Glucose-1-phosphate is then converted to UDP-glucose by its reaction with UTP catalyse by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. The reaction is favoured by the rapid hydrolysis of PPi produced to two molecules of inorganic phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase.

Glycogen synthase then adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to a growing chain of glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and free UDP.
