VOLUME AND DENSITY

VOLUME IS AN IMPORTANT
GENERAL PROPERTY OR MATTER
THAT WE USE EVERY DAY. IT IS THE
AMOUNT OF SPACE MATTER
OCCUPIES.
The mass of a unit volume of a material is called its
density, which is expressed by the equation: D m/V
where m is the mass of a material, V is its volume,
and D is its density. The basic unit of mass in
chemistry is the gram (g) and of volume is the
cubic centimeter (cm*). Thus, density may have
the dimensions of g/cm2. Below are some of the
standard units of mass, volume, and density:
Density is an important general
property of matter because it
allows us to compare different
kinds of matter.
Objects will float in water if its density is less
than the density of water, such as wood. On the
other hand, objects with a density greater than
the density of water will sink. Usually, the solid
phase of matter will sink in its liquid form
because it has greater density than the density
of its liquid form. However, water behaves
differently; ice cube floats in a glass of water.
Therefore, ice must be less
dense than liquid water. In fact,
the density of ice is only about
89% that of cold water. This
means that only about 11% of
an ice cube stays above the
surface of the water and the
rest is below the surface.
 How to Find Density?

1. Determine the weight of an object.

2. Find out the volume of an object.
3. Divide weight by volume.
How to Calculate Volume?

Whereas the basic formula for the area of a

rectangular shape is length × width, the
basic formula for volume is length × width ×
height.
 Calculate Volume in Liters:
A liter (or litre) is a metric unit used to measure volume
or capacity.[1] Liters are a common measurement often
used to measure beverages and other liquids, such as
a 2 liter bottle of soda. Sometimes you will need to
calculate the volume of an object in liters, given the
object's dimensions. In other instances, you will need to
convert the volume of something that is already given
in another unit, such as milliliters or gallons. In all of
these instances, through simple multiplication or
division, you can easily determine volume in liters.
