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 :)

"in which direction does this reaction tend to proceed under standard conditions?"
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer : Right

Explanation : The direction of reaction tends to proceed on right side under standard conditions; If the change in standard free energy ΔG for a particular reaction is negative. Also if the elements in their most stable forms as they exist under standard conditions. Then ΔG determines the direction and extent of chemical change. But under standard conditions the direction of the  reaction will be to right.

MrRissso [65]
When heat energy is supplied to a material it can raise the temperature of mass of the material.
Specific heat is the amount of energy required by 1 g of material to raise the temperature by 1 °C.
equation is 
H = mcΔt
H - heat energy 
m - mass of material 
c - specific heat of the material 
Δt - change in temperature
substituting the values in the equation 
120 J = 10 g x c x 5 °C
c = 2.4 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 44 and its mass number is 151?
Phoenix [80]
To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number of element X. So in this case, it'll be 151-44= the number of neutrons.

How many molecules are there in 6.73 moles of phosphorus trichloride? (write your answer in scientific notation).
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: There are 4.05\times 10^{24}  molecules in 6.73 moles of phosphorus trichloride

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

1 mole of PCl_3 contains = 6.023\times 10^{23}  molecules

Thus 6.73 moles of PCl_3 contains = \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 6.73=4.05\times 10^{24}  molecules

Thus there are 4.05\times 10^{24}  molecules in 6.73 moles of phosphorus trichloride
