Density Practice

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density?

Back

The common units for density are grams per milliliter (g/mL) and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than 1 g/mL when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than 1 g/mL when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/mL.

Front

Is density a physical or chemical property?

Back

Density is a physical property.

Front

What is a characteristic physical property?

Back

A characteristic physical property is a property that helps to identify a substance, such as density.

Front

If two objects have the same volume but different masses, how do their densities compare?

Back

The object with the greater mass will have a higher density.

Front

Can density be used to identify substances?

Back

Yes, because different substances have unique densities.
