DENSITY is an important and useful physical property

DENSITY is an important and useful physical property. Gold. Mercury. 13.6 g/cm3. 19.3 g/cm3. DENSITY is an important and useful physical property. Gold. Mercury. 13.6 g/cm3. 19.3 g/cm3. Many substances can be identified based solely upon their density; very important to chemists. Density Problem. Problem: A piece of copper has a mass of 57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm3)..

    7. Density Problem SOLUTION 1. Get dimensions in common units.

    8. Relative Densities of the Elements

    9. DENSITY Be sure to notice that DENSITY is an INTENSIVE PROPERTY of matter. INTENSIVE - does not depend on quantity of matter. Contrast with EXTENSIVE - depends on quantity of matter. Examples are mass and volume.

    10. PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg? In grams? In pounds?

    11. PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg?

    12. Then, use dimensional analysis to calculate mass. PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg?
