Density Why some things float and others sink.
First things first…mass vs. weight • Mass: the amount of matter that an object contains • Measured in grams • Always remains constant • Weight: a force that measures the pull of gravity on a certain mass • Measurement can change depending on location • Example: on the moon • DiscoveryEducation Mass Vs. Weight Video Clip
Density • Ratio of mass of an object to it’s volume • Intrinsic property • Depends on the composition of an object, not on the size of the sample • Demo (human density demo) • Density = mass ÷ volume • Units: g/mL or g/cm3
Density • Physical property of matter • Everything has a unique density • The measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume • How closely "packed" or "crowded" the material appears to be
Important Densities • Density of AIR: • 0.0013 g/mL • Density of WATER: • 1.00 g/mL
Volume • The amount of space an object takes up • Units of measurement: • Liters • Milliliters • Centimeters cubed (cm3)
9 cm Height 8 cm Width 10 cm Length Measuring Volume We can measure the volume of regular object using the formula length x width x height. _______ X _______ X _______ = ________ Length Width Height Volume (cm3)
Measuring Volume We can measure the volume of irregular object using water displacement. Amount of H2O with object = ______About of H2O without object = ______Difference = Volume = ______
Reading a graduated cylinder Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water. What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
Practice • A copper penny has a mass of 3.1 g and a volume of 0.35 cm3. What is the density of copper? • Step 1: List Variables • Step 2: List equation Density = mass ÷ volume • Step 3: Substitute and Solve = 3.1 ÷ 0.35 = 8.8571 g/cm3
More Practice • A student finds a shiny piece of metal that she thinks is aluminum. In the lab, she determines that the metal has a volume of 245 cm3 and a mass of 612 g. Calculate the density. • Density = 612 ÷ 245 • Density = 2.50 g/cm3
One More… • A bar of silver has a mass of 68.0 g and a volume of 6.48 cm3. What is the density of silver? • Density = 68.0 ÷ 6.48 • Density = 10.5 g/cm3
