Study Notes
Density: Key Concepts
- Density measures how much mass is packed into a given volume.
- Formula for calculating density: Density = Mass / Volume
- Units used to express density are often g/cm³, g/mL, or kg/m³.
- Water has a density of 1 g/mL at room temperature.
- An object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density of water.
- Less dense objects will float on water.
- Temperature affects the density of liquids: Density typically decreases as temperature increases.
- To determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you can measure the amount of water it displaces.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
