1. DENSITY

2. Packing It In! What is density?
Density is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume.
The density of a substance remains the same no matter how much of the substance you have.

3. How is density determined?
Density is mass divided by volume,
or D = m V
Common units for expressing density are grams per cubic centimeter, or g/cm3.
In water, which has a density of 1 g/mL, objects with density greater than 1 g/mL sink. Objects with density less than 1 g/mL float

4. Formula for Density

5. Units for Density
Solid---g/cm3
Liquid---g/mL
Gas---g/L

6. Remember!!!!
1cm3=1mL
