11. C. Density is a comparison between an objects mass and it's volume.
Mass = The amount of matter in an object.
Weight: A measure of the pull of gravity on an object.
Volume: The amount of space an object takes up.
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Ex.The mass of an object is 25grams. The volume of an object is 5 cm3. What is its density?
F: D=M/V
S =25g/5cm3
A = 5 g/cm3
Archimedes Principle

12. Molecular structure of : Metal Wood Plastic
The more tightly packed the molecules are the more dense the object is
Therefore metal is the most dense
Example: Density cube lab

14. What is the density of an irregular object?
You must use a graduated cylinder
The units are not cm3 they are ml or L
Ex. what is the density of a hammer that has a mass of 235 g?
F: volume = Total volume - liquid
S: 69ml – 65ml
A: 4ml
F: density = mass/volume 
S = 235 g/ 4 mL
A = g/mL

15. If you had two rods the same size (volume), but one was made up calcium and the other one made of sulfur which one would have the greater density? Their molecule size is seen below.
The density of sulfur is about 2 g/cm3 and the density of calcium is about 1.5 g/cm3.
You can pack more sulfur molecules into the same amount of space

16. How can you tell if an object will float or sink
How can you tell if an object will float or sink? You need to know the density of water What water has the greater density? The beaker full of water or the beaker filled with one eye dropper of water? They are the same.

17. Find the density of water

18. Look at your values for density in your chart

1 g/cm3 or 1g/ml (both the same)

19. 3) Using the data from your chart, graph the volume and mass for 100 mL, 50 mL, and 25 mL.

Density 1 g/ml
5) Choose any volume of water between 1 and 100 milliliters. Based on the graph, what would its mass be? What would its density be?
Volume _________
Mass ___________
Density _________

20. The density of a liquid determines whether it will float on or sink in another liquid.
• A liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.
• A liquid will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Will it float, neither float nor sink, or sink?

24. Do raisins have a greater density than soda?
Hypothesis: I believe that raisins will __float/sink_ in soda because they have a __greater/lesser density than soda. 1) Pour clear soda into a medium size beaker and add some raisins (fresh). Observations: What happens?? 2) At first what had the larger density, the soda or the raisins? ____________________ (Think about it..if the raisins float they are _____ dense than water. If the raisins sink, they are _____ dense than water) 3) After a minute, which had the larger density? ______________________________

28. Can you change the density of water? Why do boats float?
buoyancy: arises from the fact that Fluid Pressure increases with depth and from the fact that the increased pressure is exerted in all directions (Pascal's principle) so that there is an unbalanced upward force on the bottom of a submerged object Buoyant force opposes the force of gravity
Do the piece of aluminum sink float activity

29. What has a greater density, salt water or fresh

30. 1)Will a boat float higher or lower in the ocean
1)Will a boat float higher or lower in the ocean? Higher 2) How does adding salt change the density of the water? It increases the mass of the water therefore increasing its density 3) What would you expect if you placed equal volumes of water and saltwater on opposite ends of a balance? Salt water would weigh more 4) Adding salt to water increases both its mass and volume; which do you think it increases more, the mass of the water or the volume? Mass, if the volume increased the carrot would have sunk to the bottom

31. REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF BUOYANCY IN ACTION
Ex. Swim bladders in fish
swim bladder has an air bubble in it
Relax their muscles --> sac increases in size --> displaces more water --> Fish floats to surface
Contracts their muscles --> sac decreases in size --> displaces less water --> Fish sinks to bottom

32. Ex. Ballast tanks in submarines
Decreasing water in the ballast tanks--> causes the submarine to surface
Increasing water in the ballast tanks --> causes the submarine to submerge

41. Use what you know about density to answer the following questions.
Spend about 5 minutes completing the last part of the notes on your own
Spend 2 more minutes comparing answers with your seat partner (lab seats can pair up)

42. Why does cold water sink in room-temperature water
Why does cold water sink in room-temperature water? the molecules in cold water are just a bit closer together, which slightly decreases its volume. This slight decrease in volume leads to an increase in density Why does hot water float on room-temperature water? the molecules in hot water are just a bit further apart, which slightly increases its volume. This slight increase in volume leads to a decrease in density

43. Can temperature change the density of a liquid??
Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. (Mass stays the same)
• Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.
• Hot water is less dense and will float on room-temperature water.
• Cold water is more dense and will sink in room-temperature water.
