What is the density of water?

1.0g/mL

100

What is the formula for density?

Mass / Volume
100

Define Density...

Density is the amount of matter in a given amount of space (volume). It's a comparison of how much matter to the space it occupies. 

100
4.67g / 32.8mL. Find Density and say if it sinks or floats.
0.14g/mL. The object sinks.
100

Is Density a chemical or physical property of matter?

physical property

200

What happens if an object's density is greater than 1.0g/mL

the object would sink in water

200

What are all of the units for density?

g/cm3

g/mL

g/L

200

What is the definition of Volume?

The amount of space an object takes up.

200

1.74g/mL X 63mL. Find the mass.

109.62 g

200
When measuring the Volume of a solid object, what unit is it usually expressed in?
In cubic centimeters.
300

What if an object's density is less than 1.0g/mL?

The object would float in water

300

How do you solve for Volume of a regular shaped object?

Volume = L x W x H

300

What is the definition of Mass?

The measurement of the amount of matter in an object.

300

22.95g / 15.45cm3. Find density. Say if it sinks or floats.

1.49g/cm3. The object sinks.

300

What is the definition of Weight?

A measure of the amount of matter with the force of gravity acting upon it.

400

What are the units on a graduated cylinder?

mL or mililiters

400

An object has the Mass of 45.87 g and the Volume of 21.42 mL. Find the Density.

45.87g/21.42mL = 2.14 g/mL

400

Honey's density is 2.0g/mL and Rubbing Alcohol's density is 0.85 g/mL. Which liquid would float on top and which liquid would sink down beneath the other?

Rubbing alcohol float on top of honey because RA less dense and Honey more dense making it sink

400

41g / 3.2g/mL. Find the volume.

12.81mL.

400

What does the density of water help us do?

Helps us make comparisons to see if objects would sink or float
