LESSON] All That Glitters ne : Dae____ Period _ Density Purpose Materials = balance ——_® gold-colored penny Part 1: Calculating Density 1. Density is mass divided by volume. Use the mass and volume measurements in this table to calculate the density of each object. D Density ‘Object Wasi | Volume (mt) | Density (gmt) | Semgold-coloredrod | 554g] 6.6mL Femsitercoloredrod | 178g) 66 mL Wemaiver-coloredod | 356¢| 132 mL wemenyen | 32g | 133m. Which object has the highest density? 3. Which object has the lowest density? 4, What does it mean to say that a substance has a high density? 5. ‘Two of the objects have the same density: Explain how two objects with different ‘masses anid volumes can have the same density 6. Ifyou had a 1 cm® cube of the gold-colored metal, what would its mass be? How do you know? 7. ‘The densities of several metals are given in the table on the next page. Based on your calculations, what are the identities of the gold-cotored and silver-colored metals from your activity? Living By Chemistry 2e Teacher's Resource Matera Unit 1 Alchemy ©2015 WH.

The density of an iron nail is the same as the density of an iron frying pan. Explain hhow this can be true, Part 2: Comparing Densities 9. Find the mass of your gold-colored penny, then calculate the density. The volume of a penny is 0.36 mL. 10, Can you use the density value you just calculated to determine whether the gold- colored penny you made in class is gold? Explain. 1, You have a piece of metal with volume 30.0 ml. and mass 81.0 g. What is its density? ‘What kind of metal do you think it ist 12, Making Sense How can determining the density of an object help you figure out what it is made oft 13.

The geld-colored metal is brass, the silver-colored metal is aluminum. 8, The density ofa zon nails the same as the density ofan ton frying pan Explain hove this canbe true, The density of a substance doesn’t change with the size or the shape of the substance. Part 2: Comparing Dens 9 Find the mass of your gol-coloce penny; then calculate the density The volume ofa penay is 036m mass = 2.69 10, Can you se the density value yu jst calculated t determine whether the gohd- colored penay you made clas i gold? Explain, The density of the golden penny is far less than that of pure geld. Itis closest to the density of zinc. 11. You havea pice of metal with volume 00 mand mass 1.0.

Every material has a certain density that is different from the density of other materials. You can use the density value to make a tentative identification of the material. 13.
