Density

Front

What is Density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume.

Front

What is the formula to calculate Density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are commonly used to express Density?

Back

Density is commonly expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

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

Back

The water level rises due to the displacement of water by the object.

Front

What is the process of measuring the change in water level when an object is submerged called?

Back

This process is called Displacement.

Front

If an object has a density less than that of water, what will it do when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

If an object has a density greater than that of water, what will it do when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What two measurements are needed to calculate Density?

Back

Mass and Volume.

Front

What tool is commonly used to measure mass?

Back

Triple beam balance.

Front

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 30 g and occupies a volume of 5 mL?

Back

Density = 30 g / 5 mL = 6 g/mL.
