1. State the formula for density in words and mathematical symbols.

2. A rock has a mass of 210 grams and occupies a volume of 70 cm3. What is its density?

3. An unknown liquid occupies a volume of 5 ml and has a mass of 40 grams. Find its density.

4. Define the following vocabulary words:


a.) mass b.) volume

5. How does the volume occupied by a cubic centimeter (cm3) compare with the volume occupied
by a milliliter (ml)?

6. A rectangular solid of unknown density is 5 meters long, 2


meters high and 4 meters wide. The mass of this solid is 300 2m
5m
grams. Given this information for this homogeneous (alike
throughout) material, calculate its density.
4m

7. A rock occupies a volume of 20 cm3 and has a mass of 54 grams. Find the density of this rock.

8. A rock has a density of 4 g/ml and a mass of 16 grams. What is the volume this rock occupies?

9. An unknown substance from planet X has a density of 10 g/ml. It occupies a volume of 80 ml.
What is the mass of this unknown substance?

10. Water has a density of 1.0 g/mL and ocean water has a density of 1.025 g/mL. Why are they different?
11. A cube made of an unknown material has a height of 9 cm. The mass of this cube is 3,645
grams. Calculate the density of this cube given this information. Hint: a cube has 6 equal sides

12. Given a large beaker of water at room temperature (20 ℃), draw the approximate position of the
following objects when placed in that beaker of water and explain why you placed them as you
did. (In each case draw a beaker of water and the object’s approximate position you are placing
in it – you should have 5 drawings).
a) styrofoam (D = .05 g/cm3) d) balsa wood (D = 0.16 g/cm3)
b) ice (D = .92 g/cm3) e) gold (D = 19.32 g/cm3)
3
c) bone (D = 1.70 g/cm )

13. A graduated cylinder has 20 ml (cm3) of water placed in it. An irregularly


Mass (g)

shaped rock is then dropped in the graduated cylinder and the volume of the
rock and water in the cylinder now reads 30 ml (cm3). The mass of the rock
dropped into the graduated cylinder is 23 grams.
a.) Find the volume of the rock dropped into the graduated cylinder.
b.) Find the density of the rock dropped into the graduated cylinder.
