Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It tells us how much matter is packed into a certain space.

Front

How can you determine which liquid is the most dense when they do not mix?

Back

The most dense liquid will be at the bottom when poured into a container.

Front

What happens to less dense substances when placed in water?

Back

Less dense substances float on water.

Front

What happens to more dense substances when placed in water?

Back

More dense substances sink in water.

Front

Why do liquids form different layers when mixed?

Back

Liquids form different layers because they have different densities.

Front

If a liquid is less dense than water, where will it be when poured into water?

Back

It will float on the surface of the water.

Front

If a liquid is more dense than water, where will it be when poured into water?

Back

It will sink to the bottom of the water.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure density?

Back

Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

Can two liquids with the same volume have different densities?

Back

Yes, two liquids can have the same volume but different masses, resulting in different densities.
