Study Notes
Density Triangle Overview
- Density Triangle helps understand the relationship between mass, volume, and density.
- Mass is measured in grams (g).
- Volume can be measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (mL).
- Density is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Finding Mass
- To calculate mass:
- Use the formula: Mass (g) = Density (g/cm³) x Volume (cm³).
Finding Volume
- To determine volume:
- Use the formula: Volume (cm³) = Mass (g) / Density (g/cm³).
Finding Density
- To compute density:
- Use the formula: Density (g/cm³) = Mass (g) / Volume (cm³).
Steps to Find Density of an Irregular Object
- Measure the mass of the irregular object using a balance.
- Record the mass in grams.
- Fill a graduated cylinder with enough water to cover the object.
- Record the initial volume of water in milliliters (mL).
- Carefully place the object into the graduated cylinder with water.
- Record the new volume in milliliters after adding the object.
- Subtract the initial volume from the new volume to find the object's volume.
- Record the volume of the object alone in milliliters.
- Use the density formula to find the object's density.
- Include units for mass and volume in the final answer for clarity.
