what is density

mass per unit volume

2
New cards

what is the formula for density?

mass/ volume (ρ=m/v)

3
New cards

how to calculate density of a liquid?

  • place a beaker on top of a balance and zero the device

  • pour liquid into the beaker to determine the mass

  • pour the same liquid into a measuring cylinder and read off the volume

  • use ρ=m/v to calculate density

4
New cards

how to calculate density of an irregular solid?

  • measure volume by submersion: read the volume of liquid, submerge the solid, then read the change in volume (= volume of object)

  • measure mass using a balance

  • use ρ=m/v to calculate density

how to calculate density of a regular solid?

  • take measurements of relevant dimensions using a ruler

  • calculate the volume using an appropriate equation

  • measure mass using a balance and calculate density using ρ=m/v
