Density

Density. Density = mass / volume D = m / v Units for mass usually grams Units for volume usually mL or cm3 Mass is a extensive property (a property that depends on the size of the sample) Density is an intensive property (a property that does not depend on the size of the sample).

  1. Density Density = mass / volume D = m / v Units for mass usually grams Units for volume usually mL or cm3 Mass is a extensive property (a property that depends on the size of the sample) Density is an intensive property (a property that does not depend on the size of the sample)

  2. Density A helium filled balloon rapidly rises to the ceiling when released. Whether a gas-filled balloon will sink or rise when released depends on how the density of the gas compares with the density of air. Helium is less dense than air, so a helium filled balloon rises.

  3. Density and Temperature The volume of most substances increases as the temperature increases. The mass remains the same independent of the temperature and volume changes. If the volume changes with temperature while the mass remains constant, then the density must also change with temperature. The density of a substance generally decreases as its temperature increases. (water is the exception: ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water)

  4. Questions A student finds a shiny piece of metal that she thinks is aluminum. In the lab, she determines that the metal has a volume of 245cm3 and a mass of 612g. Was is the density? Is it aluminum? 1) Given m= 612g V=245 cm3 2) Formula 3) Substitute 4)SF ans. 5) Units D = m/V = 612g / 245cm3 = 2.50 g/cm3 D of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3; no it is not aluminum

  5. A bar of silver has a mass of 68.0 g and a volume of 6.48 cm3. What is the density? • Given m = 68.0 g V = 6.48 cm3 2)Formula 3)Substitute 4)SF Ans 5)units D = m/V= 68.0g /6.48cm3 = 10.5 g/cm3

  6. Questions The density of boron is 2.34 g/cm3. Change 14.8 g of boron to cm3 of boron. • Given D = 2.34 g/cm3 m = 14.8 g 2) Formula 3) Substitute 4) SF Ans 5) Units D= m / v v = m / D = 14.8g / 2.34 g/cm3 = 6.32 cm3 Convert 4.62 g of mercury to cm3 by using the density of mercury -13.5 g/cm3.

  7. Density 1) D = m / V Use when looking for Density 2) V = m / D Use when looking for volume 3) m = D · V Use when looking for mass
