Density

You need DENSITY, you have MASS and VOLUME: Example: Calculate the density for the following object. If you know that the object has a mass of 20. grams and the volume is 10. ml.

You need VOLUME, you have MASS and DENSITY: 2. Calculate the volume for the following object If you know that the object has a mass of 21.0 grams and the density is 12.0 g/ml.

20. = = = 2.0 / ( ) 10.

You need MASS, you have DENSITY and VOLUME: 3. Calculate the mass for the following object. If you know that the object has a density of 20.0 g/ml and the volume is 5.00 ml.

21.0 = = = 1.75 / / 12.0 /

( 3 ) = / 3
You need DENSITY, you have VOLUME and MASS of empty beaker and MASS of beaker and liquid: 4. Calculate the density of a liquid in a beaker. The beaker has a mass of 15 grams when empty. The beaker plus an unknown liquid has a mass of 50. grams. What is the density of the liquid if its volume is 10. mL? 50.g-15g/ 10.ml= 3.5 g/ml ( ) = / You need DENSITY, you have MASS and VOLUME (derived from object dimensions): 5. Calculate the density of a piece of metal. The rectangular piece of solid metal has the dimensions of 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm, and 2.0 cm. The unidentified metal has a mass of 40. grams.

20.0 5.00 = 100.

(50. 15. ) 10. = 3.5 /

( ) = /3
Remember that cm and mL are volume measurements that express the same 3 volume; expressing density in g/cm or g/mL is essentially the same.

40. (2.0 3.0 2.0 ) = 3.3 /3
