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 :)

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 5 options: The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same
amm1812

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

a) The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same and can be used to identify the element: It's true since the emission spectrum for each element is unique. It has the same bright lines at the same wavelength. This feature is used to identify elements. For example, the study of the emission spectra of light arriving from stars allow us to identify the elements presents in the star because the light contains the emission spectra of those elements.

b)The uncertainty principle states that we can never know both the exact location and speed of an electron:  It is true since the velocity of an electron is related to its wave nature, while its position is related to its particle nature and we cannot simultaneously measure electron's position and velocity with precision.

c) An orbital is the volume in which we are most likely to find an electron: An orbital is a probability distribution map that is used to decribe the likely position of an electron in an atom.

Complete and balance the molecular equation, including the phases, for the reaction of aqueous potassium sulfate, k2so4, and aqu
Tju [1.3M]
The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products. 

The reaction is 
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s) 

To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.

Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction. 
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced. 
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side. 

Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
