Density

Front

What is density?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

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 unit of measurement for density?

Back

g/mL (grams per milliliter).

Front

What lab tool is commonly used to measure the volume of a liquid?

Back

Graduated cylinder.

Front

Why do some objects float in water?

Back

Because their densities are lower than that of water.

Front

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

Back

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

Front

What is the volume of 100 grams of water?

Back

100 mL (since the density of water is 1 g/mL).

Front

If an object has a density of 1.2 g/mL, will it float or sink in water?

Back

It will sink.
