Density Volume Calculations

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in g/cm³ or g/ml.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density (D) = Mass (m) / Volume (v)

Front

What is the unit of density for solids?

Back

The unit of density for solids is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is the unit of density for liquids?

Back

The unit of density for liquids is typically 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 is the principle of volume displacement?

Back

The principle of volume displacement states that the volume of an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the volume of fluid displaced.

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregular object?

Back

You can find the volume of an irregular object by submerging it in water and measuring the volume of water displaced.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³ at 4°C.

Front

If a liquid has a mass of 50g and occupies a volume of 100ml, what is its density?

Back

Density = 50g / 100ml = 0.5 g/ml.

Front

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

Back

If the mass increases while the volume remains constant, the density of the object increases.
