Question

complete the sentence. If mass remains the same while the volume of a substance________ and the density of the substance will ________

Answer 1

If mass remains the same while the volume of a substance increases and the density of the substance will decrease or, volume decreases and density increase, 'cause density equals mass divided in volume, which means that volume and density are inversely proporcional

Answer 2

Answer : If mass remains the same while the volume of a substance increases/decreases and the density of the substance will decreases/increases.

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula for density :

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

As per question, if the mass of remains constant then the volume of a substance will be inversely proportional to the density of the substance. That means, when the volume increases, the density will be decreases and vice a versa.

`Density\propto (1)/(Volume)`

Hence, if mass remains the same while the volume of a substance increases/decreases and the density of the substance will decreases/increases.
