Properties
Density is an intensive property of matter. The density of matter does not depend on the amount of matter. Density does depend on the composition of the matter
Properties Density is the mass of the matter divided by the volume of the matter. The density of matter generally decreases as the temperature of the matter increases. D = mVmV
Properties The density of some materials is given in this chart: Material D (g/mL) Material D (g/L) gold19.3 carbon dioxide 1.83 mercury13.6argon1.66 lead11.4air1.20 copper8.86helium0.166 corn oil0.922hydrogen0.084 water1.000methane0.665
Properties
Doing the Math
Density is the mass of the matter divided by the volume of the matter. The volume of matter is the mass divided by the density. The mass of matter is the density times the volume. D = mVmV V = mDmD m = DV
