Density

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Which property is most useful for identifying an unknown liquid?

Back

Density is the most useful property for identifying an unknown liquid.
