DENSITY

• Amount of matter (mass) in a given volume • Solids: units are g/cm3

• Liquids: units are g/mL• *1 mL = 1 cm3

DENSITY

• Which one has a greater density? Why?

• They both have the same volume, but the brick has a greater mass.

• Its mass per volume is higher, so the brick has a higher density.

DENSITY

• Which one has a greater density? Why?

• They both have the same mass, but the grape has a lower volume.

• The grape has more mass in less volume, so it has a higher density than the Styrofoam.

COMPARING DENSITY

• Italian salad dressing is made of 3 main components: oil, vinegar, and spices.

• We can see 3 “layers” in a bottle of dressing.

• It separates because the layers have different densities. Which layer is the most dense? Which is the least dense?

Water has a density of 1.0 g/mL. Will jet fuel float or sink when mixed with water?Float

CALCULATING DENSITYThe density of salt is 2.16g/cm3. What is the mass if you have a cube of salt with a volume of 400 cm3?

5;$$ = !"#$%&' × 12345"

Mass = 2.16g/cm3 × 400cm3

Mass = 864 g

CALCULATING DENSITY

How do we calculate the volume of irregular shaped objects, like a rock? Use displacement: the amount of space an object takes up when placed in a fluid. (Like adding ice to water)

Final volume – Initial volume = Displacement

The amount of displacement is equal to the volume of the solid object.

How do we calculate the volume of irregular shaped objects, like a rock? Use displacement: the amount of space an object takes up when placed in a fluid. (Like adding ice to water)

Final volume – Starting volume = Displacement

The amount of displacement is equal to the volume of the solid object.

CALCULATING DENSITYA beaker contains 50mL of water. When a rock is dropped in the beaker, the water level rises to 77mL. If the rock has a mass of 89g, what is the density of the rock?

Mass = 89g

Volume = final – initial = 77mL – 50mL = 27mL
