Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the measurement of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing mass by volume.

Front

What happens to density when temperature decreases?

Back

Density increases when temperature decreases.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What happens to particles when temperature decreases?

Back

When temperature decreases, particles get closer together.

Front

What happens to particles when temperature increases?

Back

When temperature increases, particles get further apart.

Front

What does cooler, denser material do in a fluid?

Back

Cooler, denser material sinks in a fluid.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

How does temperature affect the volume of a substance?

Back

As temperature increases, the volume of a substance generally increases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and density?

Back

Density is directly related to mass; if the volume remains constant, an increase in mass results in an increase in density.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

The unit of measurement for density is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
