Density

Density of substance is its mass per unit volume

Density: mass/volume

Density is measured in g/cm3

Why is density important?

  • Predicting floatation

    • Rocks

  • Identify substances

  • Helps engineers design

  • Low density components makes faster or lighter race cars

  • Most dense substance: osmium
