Study Notes
Chapter 3: Density
- Lesson Outcomes:
- Demonstrate understanding of density and relative density.
- Determine density of regular and irregular objects.
- Keywords:
- Force, mass, volume, density, relative density.
- Learning Objective:
- Demonstrate understanding of force and pressure.
Submarine Functionality
- Floating Submarine:
- Ballast tanks filled with air.
- Submerging Submarine:
- Vent holes open.
- Air escapes as tanks fill with water.
- Rising Submarine:
- Vent holes closed.
- Compressed air pumped into tanks forces water out.
Density Definition
- Density: Amount of matter per unit volume.
- Density Formula: Density = Mass / Volume (ρ = m/V)
Density Examples
- Density Comparison (Cork, Wood, Metal):
- Cork < Wood < Metal (cork has lowest density).
- Gases:
- Hydrogen: 0.089 kg/m³
- Oxygen: 1.43 kg/m³
- Carbon Dioxide: 1.96 kg/m³
- Liquids:
- Alcohol: 789 kg/m³
- Water: 1000 kg/m³
- Mercury: 13534 kg/m³
- Solids:
- Aluminium: 2700 kg/m³
- Steel: 7500 kg/m³
- Uranium: 18800 kg/m³
Density in Different States of Matter
- Gases:
- Fill the available space.
- Larger volume = lower density.
- Temperature affects expansion and density.
- Warm air rises, cold air sinks.
- Liquids:
- Ice is less dense than water.
- This explains why lakes/ponds freeze from the top down.
- Solids:
- Materials can be identified and separated by density.
- Example: Steel bolt floats on mercury.
Factors Affecting Density
- Temperature: Higher temperature = lower density (hot air rises).
- Pressure: Higher pressure = higher density (sea rocks denser than surface rocks).
- Impurities/Concentration: Impurity can change density. Example: Dead Sea.
- Atoms in Material: Heavier atoms = higher density (gold is much denser than common materials).
Relative Density
- Relative Density (Specific Gravity):
- Ratio of a substance's density to the density of a reference substance (usually water).
- Density of iron: 7800 kg/m³
- Density of water: 1000 kg/m³
- Relative Density of iron: 7.8
- API Gravity:
- Inverse measure of petroleum liquid density relative to that of water
- Above 10API = lighter (floats)
- Below 10API = heavier (sinks)
Methods to Determine Density
- Regular Shapes:
- Find mass using a pan balance.
- Find volume with appropriate geometric formula (e.g., V = L × W × H for rectangular prism, V= πr³ for a sphere.)
- Density = Mass / Volume.
- Irregular Shapes:
- Find mass using a pan balance.
- Find volume using displacement method (water displacement in a graduated cylinder).
- Density = Mass / Volume.
