True or False? Can someone check to see if I am correct. If not, why?
a) Two samples of matter have the same volume must have the same density
FALSE: could have different densities
b) two samples of matter having the same volume and the same number of particles must have the same density
TRUE
c) In order for the volume of a sample of matter to increase its mass must also increase.
TRUE

8) A sample of water with a density of 1.00 g/mL is in a beaker. A careless chemistry student spills out half the water onto the floor. What is the denisty of the water remaining in the beaker?
You have the same volume
To find the density of the water remaining in the beaker, we need to understand that density is defined as mass divided by volume.
Given that the density of the sample of water is 1.00 g/mL, this means that for every milliliter of water, the mass is 1.00 grams.
Now, let's consider the scenario where half of the water is spilled out. The remaining water in the beaker will have a reduced volume, but the mass will remain the same.
Therefore, the density of the water remaining in the beaker will still be 1.00 g/mL. The density does not change because the mass does not change, only the volume is reduced.
So, the answer to the question is that the density of the water remaining in the beaker is still 1.00 g/mL.
