Question

For substances of equal density, what is the relationship between the mass and the volume?
Responses

If the mass increases, then the volume will stay the same.
If the mass increases, then the volume will stay the same.

If the mass increases, then the volume will increase.
If the mass increases, then the volume will increase.

If the mass increases, then the volume will decrease.
If the mass increases, then the volume will decrease.

There is no relationship between mass and volume when substance have equal densities.

1 answer

For substances of equal density, there is a direct relationship between mass and volume. The correct response is:

If the mass increases, then the volume will increase.

This is because density is defined as mass per unit volume (density = mass/volume). If the density remains constant and the mass increases, the volume must also increase to maintain that constant density.
