Density

Which box is more dense?

Both cubes have the same volume, but Cube 1 has more molecules so it is

denser than the Cube 2!

Density

Density compares the mass of an object to its volume

D = mass = g or g

volume mL cm3

Note: 1 mL = 1 cm3

Volume Displacement

A solid or liquid displaces a matching volume of water when the solid or liquid is placed in water.

33 mL

25 mL

(A) 548 mL

(B) 96.7 mL

Buoyancy

• Why does a boat float higher in saltwater than in freshwater?

A boat has more buoyancy in saltwater than in freshwater because saltwater is more dense than freshwater

Bouyancy

• Buoyancy is the tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid.

How do life jackets increase your buoyancy?

• Lifejackets decrease your density by increasing your volume without increasing your mass much.

D= M V

Viscosity

• Have you ever been accused of moving “slower than molasses in January”?

• What makes a substance like molasses flow so slowly?

Molasses has a very high viscosity- which means it resists flow!

Viscosity

• Viscosity is resistance to fluid flow.

• When particles in a liquid are strongly

attracted there is high viscosity.

• When particles in a liquid are weakly

attracted there is low viscosity.

Viscosity

• What about when you heat up syrup? Then it seems to flow faster. What’s going on then?

•When you warm up a substance the kinetic energy of the molecules increase. This means that the molecules are moving faster, weakening the attraction between the particles, and lowering the viscosity.
