Density
Density compares the mass of an object to its volume
D = mass = g or g
volume mL cm3
Note: 1 mL = 1 cm3
What is Density?
Density is the Mass per unit VolumeDensity is the Mass per unit Volume
Wood Water Iron

1 cm3
1 cm3
If you take the same volume of different substances, then they will weigh different amounts.
0.50 g 1.00 g 8.00 g
Q) Which has the greatest mass and therefore the most dense?
IRON
Example:
Q) Liquid water has a density of 1000kgm-
3, while ice has density of 920kgm-3.
Calculate the volume occupied by 0.25kg of each.
Density Equation:
V = m = 0.25 = 0.000250m3
1000
V = m = 0.25 = 0.000272m3

Learning Check D1
Osmium is a very dense metal. What is its
density in g/cm3 if 50.00 g of the metal occupies
a volume of 2.22cm3?
1) 2.25 g/cm3
2) 22.5 g/cm3
3) 111 g/cm3
lecturePLUS Timberlake 11
Solution
2) Placing the mass and volume of the osmium metal into the density setup, we obtain
D = mass = 50.00 g = volume 2.22 cm3
= 22.522522 g/cm3 = 22.5 g/cm3

Volume Displacement
A solid displaces a matching volume of water when the solid is placed in water.

What is the density (g/cm3) of 48 g of a metal if the metal raises the level of water in a graduated cylinder from 25 mL to 33 mL?
1) 0.2 g/ cm3 2) 6 g/m3 3) 252 g/cm3
33 mL
25 mL
lecturePLUS Timberlake 14
Solution
2) 6 g/cm3
Volume (mL) of water displaced = 33 mL - 25 mL = 8 mL
Volume of metal (cm3) = 8 mL x 1 cm3 = 8 cm3
1 mLDensity of metal =
mass = 48 g = 6 g/cm3
volume 8 cm3

Learning Check
You have 3 metal samples. Which one will displace the greatest volume of water?

Discuss your choice with another student.
25 g Al2.70 g/mL
45 g of gold19.3 g/mL
75 g of Lead11.3 g/mL
Pre-Lab• How do you correctly read a graduated cylinder?• What techniques can you use to measure the volume of
an irregularly shaped object? What tips should you remember?
• How do you take the slope of a line?• How is percentage error defined?• Name the two general types of mathematical
relationships between variables to be investigated in this lab
• What safety precautions must be taken for this lab
22
Procedure• Choose equipment to make and record all
measurements as accurately and precisely as possible. Be sure to record the correct number of digits for your data.
1.Obtain 2 rock samples
2.Make sure the samples are dry and clean. Obtain their masses. Remember the uncertainty
3.Measure the volume of the rock using the volume displacement method
24
4. Repeat method 2 and 3 and obtain an average
5. Calculate the volume of the rock.
6.Repeat for the second sample.

• More Calculations
1.Make a single table using mass and volume, density for all samples. Display the formula and show all working. Ensure all units are correctly displayed.
2.Obtain the class data for each group for each sort of rock sample and make another table, showing mass, volume, as well as the computation of mass x volume and mass/volume. Use the appropriate units.
27
3. Your graph will show a scatter of points, draw a line of best fit.
4. Look at the data/calculations table, which is constant; mass x volume OR mass/vol ?
5. What type of relationship was found in this lab? Hint: If A/B is constant, then there is a direct relationship. If AxB is constant then there is an inverse relationship.
6. Using the above data, explain what the gradient of the line represents?
28
7. Calculate the gradient of the line. You can choose any two points on a line to calculate slope, but it is best to choose them far apart.
8. Accurately calculate your gradient. Write your final slope as a decimal, to two decimal places. Don’t forget units!!
29
Discussion: Answer the following questions.
1. Compare your calculated gradient from the class results to your calculated density from your own results. What is the error margin?
2.Should a density graph go through the point (0,0)? Why or why not?
3.Would you get the same values of slope if you just counted the number of grid lines in the rise and run (ignoring the scales on your graph)? Give one example.
30
4. Why must the samples be clean and dry to start?
5. If I randomly picked two pure solid substances in the room, is it likely that they would have the same density? If I could take any size piece of either, could I make them have the same density? Comment on your answers.
6. If you were given another rock sample, would you rather know its mass or its density if you wanted to find out what kind of rock it is. Explain.
31
7. Would the presence of an air bubble stuck on the submerged rock tend to make the density too high or too low? Explain.
8. Discuss any experimental errors that could of lead to the inaccuracies in this lab.
9. What improvements could you put in place to increase the accuracy of your results.
