Density and Volume

Density and Volume
Density
- Is how much mass is packed into a given area
Mass
- How much matter much an object contains
Volume
- Is the amount of space an object takes up
Examples
Ex. 1
1. What is density CO gas is 0.196g occupies the volume of 100ml.
Formula: Density = Mass ÷ Volume
1. Mass = 0.196g
2. Volume = 100ml
3. 0.196g / 100ml
Answer:
Density = 0.00196 g/ml
Do Not Forget The units if you forget your answer will be wrong.
The Density of Liquids, Defined Solids, and
Undefined Solids
Density of Liquids
- To measure the volume of a substance you would use a graduated cylinder.

𝑚
- One can also use a formula to find the density of the substance. Which is 𝑑 = 𝑉 .
How to!
- To start, use a graduated cylinder to find the volume of the fluid. Use the balance to
measure the volume of the object. Next, you will need to deduct the empty portion of
the graduated cylinder to get the volume of the liquid or substance.
Density of Defined Solids

- To find the volume of the solid substance; you need to find the length, the width, and
the height.
Formula: 𝑙 × 𝑤 × ℎ
- If you find the volume of the solid. You can plug it into the formula to get u density.
𝑚
Formula: 𝑑 = 𝑉
Example
- A cube can be an example. If you are trying to find the volume to get the density you
need to find the length, width, and height. You will need to use the balance to measure
the mass of the solid(substance).
Density of Undefined Solids
- To find undefined shapes such as a rock or broken glass shard. You will need water to
define the volume.
- The formula is different for the volume of undefined solids. You will need to subtract
the before and after of the volume once you drop the object.
How to!
1. To find the volume you need a graduated cylinder to fill it up with water to put in the
object.
2. To find the volume you have to record the water before and after dropping the object.
Mass and Weight
Mass
- Used to compare solids, liquids, and gases
- The unit to measure mass is a kilogram (kg) or a Triple-beam balance
Weight
- Is determined by a planet’s gravitation pull. The more gravitational pull an object has the more
it weighs
- It is measure in what we call a Newton (N) 𝑊=𝑚×𝑔
𝑊stands for Weight. 𝑚stands for mass and 𝑔is the gravitational pull of a planet.
- A spring scale is used to measure the weight of an object.
Example
- An astronaut’s mass on Earth can 120kg and it can also be 120kg on the Moon.
But the weight of an astronaut on Earth is the mass times 10 which equals 1,200 Newtons (N)
but the weight on the Moon is 200N.
- Mass does not change on different planets. 𝑚 × 10 = 𝑁𝑒𝑤𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑠 (𝑁)
- While the weight does change on a different planet.
