Density Review

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 are the two types of measurements that make up density?

Back

Mass and Volume.

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the object by its volume (Density = Mass/Volume).

Front

If an object has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 10 mL, what is its density?

Back

5 g/mL.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains the same?

Back

The density increases.

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains the same?

Back

The density decreases.

Front

What is the unit of density in the metric system?

Back

g/mL (grams per milliliter) or g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter).

Front

An object with a density less than 1 g/mL will float in water. True or False?

Back

True.

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/mL at 4°C.

If a rock has a mass of 14 g and a volume of 2 cm³, what is its density?

Back

7 g/cm³.
