Density 3.4

Density 3.4 If you think that these lily pads float because they are lightweight, you are only partially correct. The ratio of the mass of an object to its volume can be used to determine whether an object floats or sinks in water.

Determining Density 3.4 What determines the density of a substance?

Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. 3.4 Determining Density Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume.

3.4 Determining Density Each of these 10-g samples has a different volume because the densities vary. A 10-g sample of pure water has less volume than 10 g of lithium, but more volume than 10 g of lead. The faces of the cubes are shown actual size. Inferring Which substance has the highest ratio of mass to volume?

3.4 Determining Density Density is an intensive property that depends only on the composition of a substance, not on the size of the sample.

3.4 Determining Density The density of corn oil is less than the density of corn syrup. For that reason, the oil floats on top of the syrup. Because of differences in density, corn oil floats on top of corn syrup.

Rank materials according to their densities. Determining Density Simulation 1 Rank materials according to their densities.

Density and Temperature 3.4 Density and Temperature Density and Temperature How does a change in temperature affect density?

Density and Temperature 3.4 Density and Temperature Experiments show that the volume of most substances increases as the temperature increases. Meanwhile, the mass remains the same. Thus, the density must change. The density of a substance generally decreases as its temperature increases.
