Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a material. It describes how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Cards in this deck

Define density.

True or False? Objects made from high-density materials typically have low mass.

What is the equation for the density of an object?

State the units for density when mass is in grams (g) and volume is in cubic centimetres (cm³).

Why are gases generally less dense than solids?

True or False? Density is a scalar quantity.

Define volume.

State the equation used to calculate the volume of an object.

Identify which object is more dense, the one on the left or the one on the right.\n\n!Two cubes with pink spheres inside; the left cube has 4 spread-out spheres, and the right cube is filled with 14 closely packed spheres.{width=1100 height=301}

How do you measure the density of a regularly shaped object?

How do you measure the density of an irregularly shaped object?

When an irregular object is fully submerged, the volume of water it ______ is equal to the volume of the object.

When measuring the density of a liquid, how do you find the mass of the liquid?

Which instrument would you use to measure the dimensions of a very small object most accurately?

True or False? Water should be poured into the measuring cylinder while it is on the digital balance.

Why should you repeat your measurements and take an average in this experiment?
