Yes it can. I'm not sure if you need any other examples but color and melting/boiling point can as well.

What physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?
Mass and Volume are physical properties that can bed measured. By themselves, neither can bed used to identify unknown objects or substances. However, if you have measured the mass and the volume of an object, you can calculate its density.
What cannot be used to identify a type of matter color temperature melting point or density?
Temperature can not be used to identify a type of matter
The concentration of matter in an object?
The concentration of matter in an object is called the density.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?
If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD
Is density a good way to identify a substance?
Yes, it is possible. To identify an object using its density you need only a few things: an accurate scale to find the mass of the object; a graduated cylinder large enough to accommodate whatever object you have; the object itself; and a liquid. Any liquid can be used for this, however, if the object floats then the calculation becomes slightly more complicated. I use water. First weigh the object, then immerse it in the liquid. Note how much water is displaced. Divide the mass of the object by the volume of the liquid and you'll find the density. Then compare that density to the list of known densities to identify the object. Pretty simple! physical and chemical properties can be uesed to identify substance. I used: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5187289_density-used-identify-substances.html Ans: Not sure you can actually identify the substance from its density alone: you would have to know its state too. For example, water in gaseous form would be an entirely different density to water in solid form wouldn't it? So no, you cannot identify a substance from its density, without other information. The best way to identify a substance is often through spectroscopy, in which the radiation either absorbed or given off from a chemical can determine which substances are present. This is what happens for the sun.
Can density be used to identify a material?
Density can be used to identify a material by how much you get as an 'answer'. because if it is the same material then probably the density value will be similar. -By Anna 6-4

Why can you use density to identify an element?
density and be used to identify an element because of the types of molecules. Use D = M v

What is the formula used to calculated the density of an object?
density=mass/volume
What is the formula used to calculate the density an object?
density=mass/volume
How can knowing density of the object help you identify what the object is made of?
Well, I think it helps you identify if the objects in the object are dense or not. Just sometimes things make things denser or thinner. I hope this helps and it's not TOO confusing!

Why do scientist measure mass and volume?
So they can determine the density of a substance. Density = mass/volume. Density can be used to identify a substance.
Which physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume.
