Question

How does the size of a pure substance affect its density? ( Only claim is needed for CER)

Answer 1

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of a pure substance has no effect on its density.

The density of a pure substance which is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substance is constant. Mathematically, the density is expressed as:

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

This means that for every increase in the mass of a pure substance, the volume will increase measurably and vice versa. Under normal conditions, it is practically impossible to increase the mass of a substance without increasing the volume of the substance. It is also not possible to increase the volume of a substance without increasing the mass of the substance.

Hence, the density will always remain constant irrespective of the size of the substance.
