    Study Notes

    Density Formula

    • Density is a ratio of an object's mass to its volume
    • Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams or kilograms
    • Volume is a measurement of the amount of space occupied by matter, measured in units such as milliliters, liters, cubic centimeters, and cubic meters

    What Does Density Measure?

    • Density measures how closely the mass of matter is compacted
    • Higher density means the mass is more compacted in relation to the amount of volume occupied
    • Lower density means the mass is less compacted in relation to the amount of volume occupied

    How to Calculate Density

    • Density is calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume
    • To calculate density, first calculate the volume of the object using the equation: volume = length x width x height
    • Then, measure the mass using a scale and complete the calculation of density

    Examples of Calculating Density

    • For a solid: calculate volume using length x width x height, then use density = mass / volume
    • For a liquid: measure mass using a scale and volume using a graduated cylinder, then use density = mass / volume
    • For a gas: measure mass using a scale and volume using the container size, then use density = mass / volume

    Density Units

    • Density can be calculated using any unit of mass and volume, leading to many acceptable units
    • Common units for mass include grams and kilograms, while volume units can include milliliters, liters, cubic centimeters, and cubic meters
    • Conversions between units include:
      • 1 ml = 1 cm³
      • 1000 ml = 1 L
      • 1 L = 1000 cm³
      • 1 m³ = 1000 L

    Density Formula Examples

    • Example 1: calculate density of an object with a mass of 8000 grams and a volume of 3000 liters
    • Example 2: calculate density of a liquid with a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 10 ml
    • Example 3: calculate density of a gas with a mass of 1.4 kg and a volume of 15 m³
