Introduction To Density Power Point

The document defines mass as the amount of matter in an object and volume as the space an object occupies. It states density is defined as mass per unit volume, measuring how tightly packed molecules are. To calculate density, one finds the mass and volume of an object and divides mass by volume. Examples show ice and water have different densities and calculate the density of an object with a mass of 35 grams and volume of 7 cm3.

BEFORE WE DEFINE DENSITY WE NEED

TO KNOW WHAT MASS AND VOLUME IS?


Go ahead and write in your composition books what you think mass and volume is?

Hints below:
DOES IT MATTER?
Matter is everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Are you matter? List some items around you that are matter.
Matter comes in 4 states: solids, liquids, gases, plasmas

MASS = the amount of stuff in an object…. measure of the amount of matter in the
object.
Volume = how much a three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary
can hold…..for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma)
or shape occupies or contains
WHICH DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE
THE GREATER VOLUME AND MASS?
WHY?
1 kg of feathers 1 kg of rock
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a measure
of how tightly packed and how heavy the molecules are in
an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain
volume.
PROOF THAT WATER AND ICE
HAVE DIFFERENT DENSITIES
TO FIND THE DENSITY
1- Find the mass of the
object

2- Find the volume of


the object

3- Divide
Density = Mass
Volume
UNITS FOR DENSITY G/CM3 OR G/ML

Formula: M = mass V= volume D = density

M=DxV V=M/D D=M/V


To find density: 1) Find the mass of the object
2) Find the volume of the object
3) Divide : Density = Mass - Volume

Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3 of space,


calculate the density.

Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3 of space,


calculate the density.

Set up your density problems like this:

Given: Mass = 35 grams Unknown: Density (g/ cm3)


Volume = 7 cm3
Formula: D = M / V Solution: D = 35g/7 cm3
D = 5 g/cm3
