Density Calculations Worksheet
Units of Density
1 ml = 1 cm3
Solids = g/cm3
Liquids = g/ml
Gases = g/ml

1) Find the unknown quantity:

a) d = 3 g/ml b) d = ? c) d = 5 g/cm3
v = 100 ml v = 95 cm3 v=?
m=? m = 950 g m = 20 g

d) d = 24 g/ml e) d = ? f) d = 250 g/cm3

v = 1200 ml v = 100 ml v=?
m=? m = 1500 g m = 1000 g
