Questions and Answers

If two objects have the same volume, but object A has a higher density than object B, what can you conclude about their masses?

  • Object A and object B have the same mass.
  • Mass is not related to density or volume.
  • Object A has a higher mass than object B. (correct)
  • Object A has a lower mass than object B.

Which units are commonly used to express density?

  • Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) only.
  • Grams per milliliter (g/mL) only.
  • Grams per milliliter (g/mL) and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). (correct)
  • Milliliters per gram (mL/g).

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

  • Density is the product of mass and volume.
  • Mass is density divided by volume.
  • Density is mass divided by volume. (correct)
  • Density is volume divided by mass.

Flashcards

Density

A measure of how tightly packed or heavy the molecules are in an object.

Mass

The measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in grams.

Volume

The measurement of the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in milliliters or cubic centimeters.

Density Differences: Solids, Liquids & Gases

Refers to the spacing between particles in each state of matter (solid, liquid, gas).

Study Notes

  • Density is how tightly packed or heavy molecules are in an object.
  • Density is measured in kilograms per cubic meter or grams per centimeter cubed.
  • The differences in density between solids, liquids, and gases relates to the spacing between the particles.
  • Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object, measured in grams.
  • Volume is the measurement of the amount of space an object occupies.
  • Volume is measured in milliliters or centimeters cubed.
  • To determine an object's density, you need to know its mass and volume.
