Question

What is the difference between density and mass?

Check all that apply.

Check all that apply.

The density of a substance is the mass of the substance per volume unit and has units such as kg/L, where mass has units of kg and volume has the units L. The density of a substance is the volume of the substance per mass unit and has units such as L/kg, where volume has the units L and mass has units of kg. The mass of a substance is independent of the amount of the substance, while density depends on the amount of the substance. The density of a substance is independent of the amount of the substance, while mass depends on the amount of the substance.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is :

A & D.

Explanation:

The formula for density is d = m/v; where m-> mass of the substance

and v-> volume of the substance.

So the density is mass per unit volume.

And mass does depends on the amount of substance. But the density does not. Because the increase in volume due to increase in amount of substance will cancel the effect of the increase in mass.

And even practically the density of any substance is considered as a constant. Like density of water is : 999.97 kg/m
