Back

They have different volumes.

Front

Which property is most useful for determining if two substances are the same?

Back

Density

Front

What is the definition of density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 grams and a volume of 2 mL, what is its density?

Back

5 g/mL

Front

What happens to the water level in a graduated cylinder when an object is submerged?

Back

The water level rises by the volume of the object.
