6.6D - Relative Density Review

Front

What is relative density?

Back

Relative density describes how dense something is compared with a reference material.

Front

What happens when a substance is less dense than the liquid it is placed in?

Back

The substance will float.

Front

What happens when a substance is more dense than the liquid it is placed in?

Back

The substance will sink.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

If a block has a mass of 200g and a volume of 50mL, what is its density?

Back

Density = 200g / 50mL = 4 g/mL.

Front

What is the density of water?

Back

The density of water is approximately 1 g/mL.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of liquids?

Back

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

Front

What is a density tower?

Back

A density tower is a visual representation of different liquids layered based on their densities.

Front

If Substance A has a density of 0.8 g/mL and Substance B has a density of 1.2 g/mL, which will float on top?

Back

Substance A will float on top of Substance B.

Front

What is the significance of a density of 1 g/mL in liquids?

Back

A density of 1 g/mL indicates that the liquid is as dense as water.
