  5. M V D = C. Derived Units • Combination of base units. • Volume (m3 or cm3) • length  length  length 1 cm3 = 1 mL 1 dm3 = 1 L • Density (kg/m3 or g/cm3) • mass per volume C. Johannesson

  6. D. Density Mass (g) Volume (cm3) C. Johannesson

  7. Problem-Solving Steps 1. Analyze 2. Plan 3. Compute 4. Evaluate C. Johannesson

  8. D. Density • An liquid has a volume of 25 ml and a density of 13.6 g/ml. Find its mass. GIVEN: V = 25 ml D = 13.6 g/ml M = ? WORK: M = DV M = (13.6 g/ml)(25ml) M = 340 g C. Johannesson

  9. WORK: V = M D V = 25 g 7.9 g/cm3 D. Density • Steel has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. What volume is occupied by 25 g of the metal? GIVEN: D = 7.9 g/cm3 V = ? M = 25 g V = 3.16 cm3 C. Johannesson

  10. WORK: D = M V D = 30 g 3.37 cm3 D. Density • Copper has a mass of 30 g. What is the density of copper if the volume is 3.37 cm3 GIVEN: D = ? V = 3.37 cm3 M = 30 g D = 8.9 g/cm3 C. Johannesson
