DENSITYDENSITY
Q) Which weighs more:-A kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of iron?
What is Density?What is Density?
Density is the Mass per unit Volume
Wood Water Iron
1 cm3 1 cm3 1 cm3
If you take the same volume of different substances, then they will weigh different
amounts.
0.50 g 1.00 g 8.00 g
Q) Which has the greatest mass and therefore the most dense?
IRON
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed and how heavy the molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume. Its unit is g/cm3 or kg/m3
Density
Density = MassVolume
g or kg
cm3 or kg3
gcm-3 or kgm-3
= m V
Example:Q) Liquid water has a density of 1000kgm-3, while ice has density of 920kgm-3. Calculate the volume occupied by 0.25kg of each.
Density Equation:

V = m = 0.25 = 0.000250m3
1000V = m = 0.25 = 0.000272m3

If you have 2 or more liquids,
the MORE dense liquid will be on bottomThe LESS dense liquid will be on top
Let’s try some density problems Let’s try some density problems togethertogether
1 Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g 1 Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g
and a volume of 3cmand a volume of 3cm33. What is its density?. What is its density?
2. Frank also has a pen. It has a mass of 3g, 2. Frank also has a pen. It has a mass of 3g, but he doesnot know the volume. Explain but he doesnot know the volume. Explain how he can find the density by giving how he can find the density by giving appropriate values as examples.appropriate values as examples.
