Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating density?

  • Density = Mass x Volume
  • Density = Volume / Mass
  • Density = Mass / Volume (correct)
  • Density = Mass + Volume

If two objects have the same volume, but object A is heavier than object B, which object has a higher density?

  • Object B
  • It is impossible to determine without knowing the masses of the objects
  • Object A (correct)
  • Both objects have the same density

What is the relationship between the density of an object and the arrangement of its atoms?

  • The more tightly packed the atoms are, the lower the density
  • The less tightly packed the atoms are, the higher the density
  • The more tightly packed the atoms are, the higher the density (correct)
  • Density is not affected by the arrangement of atoms

Flashcards

Density

Density is the ratio of mass to volume, calculated as mass divided by volume.

Mass

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, measured in grams.

Volume

Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object, measured in cm³ or mL.

Measurement units for density

Density is measured using units like grams per cm³ or grams per mL.

Study Notes

Density

  • Density is calculated by multiplying mass and volume.
  • Density is a measure of how tightly packed atoms are within an object. Higher density indicates more tightly packed atoms.
  • Volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm³).
  • Mass is measured in grams (g).
  • Density is often expressed as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) but can also be expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
