Density Notes-Part 1 Chemistry 1

Density is a measure of the compactness of a substance's molecules or particles, relating the substance's mass to its volume. It is calculated as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. Density can be used to help identify substances and is a characteristic property. Mass is measured using a balance and volume can be found through various methods depending on whether a substance is a liquid, solid, or gas. The density formula of D=m/v can be rearranged to solve for mass, volume, or density as long as two variables are known. Examples show calculating density from known mass and volume and vice versa.

Density Notes- Part 1

Chemistry 1

1
Density
• The compactness and size of the molecules or particles
of a substance
– the more compact or squished together the molecules are and
the more mass the particles have, the larger the density
• The relationship between an object’s MASS and
VOLUME

• Density is a characteristic property of substances and


can be used to help identify substances.

2
• MASS is the amount of matter an object
contains
– Mass does not change unless you add or
remove matter
• VOLUME is the amount of space an object
occupies
• Density = Mass
Volume

3
Finding Mass and Volume
• Mass is always determined using a
balance.
– Triple beam or electronic
• Remember you always must take into
account the mass of the container one of
two ways:
– Tare the balance (zero out the container’s
mass)
– Or measuring the mass of the container and
then subtracting it out later from the total
4
mass of the container + substance
• Volume can be found in different ways,
depending on the substance or object.

5
• Liquid volumes are
read in volumetric lab
equipment, like a
graduated cylinder or
pipet.

6
• The dimensions of
regularly shaped objects
may be measured and
then the volume found by
using a formula such as
V=l x w x h.

7
• The volume of irregularly
shaped objects may be
found by water
displacement
• measure a given amount
of water in a graduated
cylinder
• add the object and read Amount of H2O with object =
the volume of the water + ______
object
• then find the volume of the About of H2O without object =
object by subtraction. ______

Difference = Volume = ______


8
Units
• Mass units are usually grams (g)
• Volume units are usually
– Milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm3) for
liquids or solids
• 1mL = 1cm3
– L for gases
• Density units will always be a
Mass unit like g/mL or g/cm3 or g/L
volume unit

9
Using the density formula
• D=m/v can be used to solve for density if
the mass and volume is known

• What if the density is known, and you


need to find the mass or volume?
– Just rearrange the formula to solve for the
unknown
m=Dv or v=m/D

10
examples
A 10.0mL sample of a sugar solution has a
mass of 5.0g. What is the density of the
sugar solution?

11
• A piece of metal has a mass of 114g and a
volume of 10.0cm3. What is the density of
the metal?

12
• A substance’s density is known to be
5.6g/mL. You have a 25.0mL sample of
the substance. What is the mass of the
sample?
