mass = volume * density
For example, the density of water is 1 g / ml.
So 1 liter of water would weigh 1 kilogram.
Other items would have different densities, so a liter of mercury would have a higher density and therefore a higher mass, than water.
Similarly gases have lower densities, so would have a lower mass for the same volume. So a liter of oxygen would weigh less than a liter of water (obviously).

Mass And Volume Relationship
2016-11-16 14:10:28 · answer #2 · answered by buitron 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Mass divided by volume is density. The density of a given material (like water, 1gram per centimeter cubed) is pretty much always the same. So, if you have a 100 g mass of water, you can use the density to calculate volume! You can think of mass as an amount of material, exactly like using weight if you are always weighing on earth. Volume is just space that something takes up. Mass and volume are usually related in that the more mass you have, the more volume you have. If you are comparing different materials with different densities though, this may not be true (think if you have a small balloon filled with water versus a large balloon of air, just because one has a larger volume does not mean it has more mass) I hope this helps! :)

All matter in this universe has mass. Matter is classified as either a solid, liquid, or a gas and are classified on the Periodic Table accordingly. The mass of any element on the Periodic Table is determined by the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons do not contribute much mass to atomic mass. Volume is the amount of space matter may occupy.
Solids will have more mass and less volume; gases will have less mass and occupy more space. Liquids are in between solids and gases. The ratio of mass to volume (M/V) is the matters Density.
D = M/V. Density is the amount of matter crammed into a given space (volume). Just because the mass increases this does not
necessarily mean an increase in volume. For more information, look up desnsity of matter on your computer and a better explanation will be provided. Good luck.

mass is volume mass is the weight volume is the space that a object takes up and to find density
mass/volume

Density = mass / volume
That's... about all I can think of. That and if you have twice the volume of something, you'll have twice the mass... but that's implied by this equation.
