Density Calculations

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the formula to find the volume of an object if its mass and density are known?

Back

Volume = Mass / Density.

Front

If an object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 2cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10g / 2cm³ = 5g/cm³.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1g/cm³.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of a substance?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of a substance decreases because it expands.

Front

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

Back

Mass and volume are directly related to density; increasing mass while keeping volume constant increases density.

Front

What is the density of a substance with a mass of 50g and a volume of 25cm³?

Back

Density = 50g / 25cm³ = 2g/cm³.

Front

What is the volume of an object with a mass of 200g and a density of 5g/cm³?

Back

Volume = 200g / 5g/cm³ = 40cm³.

Front

If a diamond has a density of 3.51 g/mL, what is the volume of 1.2g of diamond?

Back

Volume = 1.2g / 3.51 g/mL = 0.34 mL.
