Question

1.
Suppose some measurements are made on two different homogeneous stones to
find out if they are made of the same kind of rock. The mass and volume measurements
are listed below. Are the two stones the same type of rock? Why or why not? Show all
calculations.

Volume
58.0 grams
50.1 grams
20.0 cm3
15.0 cm3
Stone 1
Stone 2

Expert Solution

Step 1

Mass and volume are extensive properties which depends upon the amount of the substance and thus, cannot be used to predict the nature of the substance. Whereas mass and volume can be used to calculate density of a substance which is an intensive property and remains constant for a particular substance irrespective of the amount of the substance.

Density is calculated as the mass divided by the volume of the substance.
