  1. the density of a substance is based on how closely packed the atoms are, or lack of close packing-ness, so changing the container wouldn't change the atomic interactions and thus density would still be the same. Like water in a bathtub is just as dense as the water in michael phelps goggles.


  2. no

  3. to calculate density :

    density = mass/volume <--- volume of the liquid NOT container

    so no matter what container u use, for the same amount of liquid, the density is ALWAYS constant IF u measure it at the same temperature and pressure.

    at different temperature and pressure, it might be slightly different

    eg: water at 4 degree celcius, it's density is slightly lower~

  4. No, No, No!!!

  5. no,  think of a really thick soup...  no matter whether it is poured into a big bowl, or a skinny bottle, the density remains constant.
