Calculating Density: Identifying Substances Through Measurement

Which has more density: a cup of water or a bathtub of water?

• A bathtub of water

• It depends on the temperature

• A cup of water

• Both have the same density

What two measurements are needed to find the density of a substance?

• Mass and weight

• Volume and weight

• Mass and volume

• Density and volume

How is the volume of a regular shaped solid object like a prism calculated?

• Width x Height

• Length x Width x Height

• Length + Width + Height

• Length x Width

What technique is used to find the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?

• Ruler

• Weighing scale

• Measuring tape

• Water displacement

What is the mass of a liquid if the mass of the beaker is 51 grams and the mass of the beaker with the liquid is 155 grams?

• 155 grams

• 204 grams

• 104 grams

• 51 grams

How is density calculated?

• Mass multiplied by volume

• Mass divided by volume

• Volume divided by mass

• Volume minus mass

If a liquid has a volume of 150 milliliters and a mass of 104 grams, what is its density?

• 1.0 grams per milliliter

• 0.7 grams per milliliter

• 1.5 grams per milliliter

• 0.5 grams per milliliter

What is the density of a car with a mass of 54 grams and a volume of 18 milliliters?

• 4 grams per milliliter

• 1 gram per milliliter

• 3 grams per milliliter

• 2 grams per milliliter

Why does the density of a pure substance never change?

• Because it is a characteristic property

• Because it depends on the mass

• Because it depends on the temperature

• Because it depends on the volume

What is the density of a nugget with a mass of 22 grams and a volume of 4.4 centimeters cubed?

• 10 grams per centimeters cubed

• 5 grams per centimeters cubed

• 19.3 grams per centimeters cubed

• 15 grams per centimeters cubed
