Question

A material's density is the same, no matter how how large or small the sample is, or what shape it is, as long as it is a solid uniform piece of material. Explain how this is possible & use an example.

Answer 1

2 grams of sodium is the same as 3 grams of sodium if it comes from the same group. you could have the same amounts, but they can be completely different or from two different groups

Answer 2

The ratio of mass divided by volume (m/v)

Answer 3

" uniform piece of material" implies the density is the same throughout. That means mass of any sample size divide by the corresponding volume is a constant. Notice that in the definition of density as mass / volume there is no mention of the shape of the material or how big or small the size should be.

Answer 4

Oh, ok. Thank you!
