Density
A lesson on integrity and science
Density is….
A periodic property
How did Mendeleev know there was a missing element?
He calculated the densities and they increased down a family
So Remember:
Density: mass per unit volume
A measure of how compact molecules are in a substance.
Determines whether an object will sink or float in a fluid.
Archimedes Principle
There is a relationship between an object being able to float
(or buoyancy )
and the mass of the fluid that was displaced.
This box is filled with water
The object displaces some of the water
The amount of the fluid displaced depends on the density of the object
versus the density of the fluid.
How to find the volume of an irregular shaped object
Measure a known amount of water in a graduated cylinder
Place the object in the waterThen find the volume of water it
displaces in a graduated cylinder, by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume
Divide mass by volume
Solid Liquid Gas
For example: Density of water is 1 g/ml.
Wood has a density of 0.6 g/ml;
Therefore, wood floats in water.
Formula for Density
Density = mass / volume
or
D = m/v.
Density = mass/volume
Volume = mass /density
Mass = density X volume
m
vD
So now, let’s calculate the density for the Coke and Diet Coke.
1. Mass the Coke on the balance.
2. Then divide it by the volume
(ml on the can)
3. Your final answer will be the density.
When you write density, the unit you use is
(the number) g/ml
For example: 3.4 g/ml
