Study Notes
Density Overview
- Density is defined as mass per unit volume, with units commonly measured in g/mL or g/cm³.
- Different materials exhibit varying densities, impacting their physical properties and behaviors.
Calculating Density
- The formula for density: Density = Mass / Volume.
- To solve density problems, follow these steps:
- List given values (mass and volume).
- Use the formula and rearrange if necessary to solve for the unknown.
- Substitute values and compute, ensuring units are included.
Density Problems
- Example 1: Aluminum block
- Mass: 8.1 g, Volume: 3 cm³
- Calculate: D = 8.1 g / 3 cm³ = 2.7 g/cm³
- Example 2: Water
- Density: 1 g/mL, Volume: 75 mL
- Calculate mass: Mass = Density × Volume = 1 g/mL × 75 mL = 75 g
- Example 3: Iron
- Mass: 31.6 g, Density: 7.9 g/mL
- Calculate Volume: V = Mass / Density = 31.6 g / 7.9 g/mL = 4.0 mL
- Example 4: Substance in a flask
- Volume: 2500 mL, Mass: 35 g
- Density = 35 g / 2500 mL = 0.014 g/mL
- Example 5: Diamond
- Density: 3.5 g/cm³, Mass: 1.0 g
- Calculate Volume: V = Mass / Density = 1.0 g / 3.5 g/cm³ = 0.286 cm³
Importance of Density
- Density indicates how closely packed particles are within a substance.
- Greater particle packing results in higher density. Ex: Bowling ball vs. volleyball: despite similar size, the bowling ball's material is denser.
- Density differences explain various phenomena, like why helium balloons rise or how ocean currents operate.
SI Conversion Factors
- Length: meter (m)
- 1 m = 100 cm, 1000 mm, 1 km = 1000 m
- Mass: kilogram (kg)
- 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 g = 1000 mg
- Volume: cubic meter (m³)
- 1 m³ = 1000 L, 1 cm³ = 1 mL
- Time: second (s)
- 1 min = 60 s, 1 hr = 60 min
- Temperature: kelvin (K)
- 0 K = -273.15 °C
Key Constants
- Gas Law Constant: R = 8.3145 J/K.mol
- Speed of Light: c = 2.9979 x 10⁸ m/s
- Planck’s Constant: h = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
- Avogadro’s number: N = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms or molecules/mol
- STP: 273 K (0 °C) and 1 atm of pressure
- Mass of particles:
- Electron: 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg
- Proton: 1.673 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
- Neutron: 1.675 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
