Why did the liquids settle in a specific order?
Why can some heavier objects float while some lighter objects sink?
Density… Is a property of all
matter: solids, liquids and gases.
Is found by dividing an object’s mass by its volume.
Units for mass: _____ Units for volume: _____
Examples A block with a volume
of 15 cubic centimeters has a mass of 52.5 grams. What is its density?
Mass------------ Volume
Mass = 52.5 g
Volume = 15 cm3
Divide!
Density = 3.5 g/cm3
Examples A die (1.5 cm on each
side) has a mass of 3.6 g. What is its density? Will it float?
Mass------------ Volume
Mass = 3.6 g
Volume = 3.4 cm3
Divide!
Density = 1.1 g/cm3
Examples You have a piece of metal with a volume of
245 cm3 and a mass of 612 g. Is it aluminum (which has a density of 2.70 g/cm3)?
A 14.0 cm3 ice cube has a mass of 12.83 g. What is the density? Compare this to the density of water. What does this tell you about the ice?
