Density
refers to how tightly matter is packed together.
DENSITY = Mass
Volume
SI Units:
density = kg/m3
mass = kg
= m volume = m3
V
Calculating density
= m
V m
V = m
V
m = V x
Ways that Affect Density
Change Mass AND Keep Volume Same
Increase the mass increase density
Decrease the mass decrease in density
V
= 9 360 g = 7.8 g/cm3
1 200
Eg. What is the mass of a block of Eg. What is the volume of a block of
gold if it has a density of 19.3 g/cm3 ice if it has a density of 0.92 g/cm3
and a volume of 540 cm3? and a mass of 12,462g?
m = 540 x 19.3
V = 12 462 = 13,546 cm3
0.92
= 10 422 g
