Mass, Volume, and Density

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams (g).

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies, commonly measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³).

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are used to measure density?

Back

Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

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 is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

Density is a property that relates mass and volume; as mass increases with constant volume, density increases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the volume of a liquid measured in a graduated cylinder?

Back

The volume is read at the bottom of the meniscus, typically measured in milliliters (mL).

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

What is the volume of an object that displaces 30 mL of water?

Back

The volume of the object is 30 mL.
