Chemistry: Density

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating density?

Back

density = mass / volume

Front

Which liquid is the least dense?

Back

Oil is the least dense liquid compared to water, syrup, and a plastic bottle.

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

To calculate density, divide the mass of the object by its volume: Density = Mass (g) / Volume (cm³).

Front

If an object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 5cm³, what is its density?

Back

Density = 10g / 5cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What is the metric unit for density?

Back

The metric unit for density is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

What is a physical property?

Back

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its identity, such as color, density, or melting point.

Front

What is a chemical property?

Back

A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to undergo a specific chemical change, such as the ability to rust.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

Back

If the mass of an object increases while its volume remains constant, its density increases.

Front

What happens to the density of an object if its volume increases while its mass remains constant?

Back

If the volume of an object increases while its mass remains constant, its density decreases.
