I. Density

a. the mass per unit of volume of a material

b. a value that describes how compact matter is

A. Formulas to calculate Density:

a. D = M/V

b. V = M/D

c. M = D x V

B. Some common units of Density:

a. g/ml

b. g/cm3

c. Kg/L

C. Most common Density:

a. Water

i. 1.0 g/ml

ii. 1.0 g/cm3

iii. 1.0 Kg/L

1. Anything with a density above 1.0 g/ml will SINK.

2. Anything with a density below 1.0 g/ml will FLOAT.

D. Example Problem

a. Doug’s toy block has a mass of 24 grams and a volume of 6 ml. What is the density of Doug’s block?
