Investigation 3 - Concentrations & Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is how compact the matter is in an object.

Front

Which liquid is the most dense?

Back

Molasses is the most dense liquid.

Front

What is more dense: corn syrup or dice?

Back

Corn syrup is more dense than dice.

Front

What must you have to determine the greater concentration of a liquid using mass?

Back

You must have equal volumes of liquid for both solutions.

Front

How can concentrated solutions be compared?

Back

Concentrated solutions can be compared if the volume of the liquids is the same.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What units are commonly used for density?

Back

Common units for density include grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and kilograms per liter (kg/L).

Front

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the density of liquids decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid.

Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent.
