Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume

Front

What units are commonly used to measure mass?

Back

Grams (g) are commonly used to measure mass.

Front

What units are commonly used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L) are commonly used to measure volume.

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 as volume increases with constant mass, density decreases.

Front

What tool is used to measure mass?

Back

A triple beam balance is used to measure mass.

Front

What is the process of measuring the volume of an irregular object using water?

Back

This process is called displacement.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of a substance?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of a substance decreases because the substance expands.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if it is cut in half?

Back

The density of the object remains the same, as density is an intrinsic property.
