What is the formula for density?
d=m/v
d = density
m = mass
v = volume
What are the three ways you can rearrange the density formula to solve for the different variables?
d=m/v
v=m/d
m=d•v
What are the units for density?
g/cm^3
What is the density of an object that has a mass of 3.20 g and a volume of 17.55 cm^3?
d = (3.20g)/(17.55cm^3)
d = 0.18 g/cm^3
What is the density of an object that has a mass of 8.80 g and a volume of 2.20 cm^3?
d = (8.80g)/(2.20cm^3)
d = 4.00 g/cm^3
What is the mass of an object that has a density of 2.35 g/cm^3 and a volume of 5.50 cm^3?
m = (2.35g/cm^3)•(5.50cm^3)
m = 12.93 g
What is the mass of an object that has a density of 29.98 g/cm^3 and a volume of 14.35 cm^3?
m = (29.98g/cm^3)•(14.35cm^3)
m = 430.12 g
What is the volume of an object that has a density of 10.10 g/cm^3 and a mass of 13.50 g?
v = (13.50g)/(10.10g/cm^3)
v = 1.37 cm^3
What is the volume of an object that has a density of 3.45 g/cm^3 and a mass of 0.85 g?
v = (0.85g)/(3.45g/cm^3)
v = 0.25 cm^3
