Density Practice Problems

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If an object has a mass of 100g and a volume of 25cm³, what is its density?

Back

4 g/cm³

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density in the metric system?

Back

g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter)

Front

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of liquids decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Front

What is the density of water at 4°C?

Back

1 g/cm³

Front

How can you determine if an object will float or sink in water?

Back

An object will float if its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm³) and sink if its density is greater.

Front

What is the density of gold?

Back

Approximately 19.3 g/cm³

Front

If a substance has a density of 0.8 g/cm³, will it float or sink in water?

Back

It will float, as it is less dense than water.

Front

What is the density of lead?

Back

Approximately 11.3 g/cm³
