Density

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 unit of density?

Back

The unit of density is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).

Front

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

Back

Density = 10g / 2cm³ = 5 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to an object with a density less than water when placed in water?

Back

It will float.

Front

What happens to an object with a density greater than water when placed in water?

Back

It will sink.

Front

What is the volume of an object?

Back

The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies, usually measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What tool is commonly used to measure the volume of liquids?

Back

A graduated cylinder.

Front

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

Back

Density is the ratio of mass to volume; as mass increases with constant volume, density increases, and vice versa.

Front

If an object has a density of 1 g/mL, what will happen if it is placed in water?

Back

It will neither sink nor float; it will remain suspended.
