3. Characteristic Property
A characteristic property is a specific aspect of a substance that helps us identify it.
Examples:

4. Are mass and volume characteristic properties?

5. What if we combined mass and volume?
If we compare an object’s mass and density, we can get a characteristic property from it called DENSITY.

6. What if we combined mass and volume?
If we compare an object’s mass and density, we can get a characteristic property from it called DENSITY. Dense solid: Not so dense solid:

7. What if we combined mass and volume?
If we compare an object’s mass and density, we can get a characteristic property from it called DENSITY. Dense solid: Not so dense solid:

8. What if we combined mass and volume?
If we compare an object’s mass and density, we can get a characteristic property from it called DENSITY. Dense liquid: Not so dense liquid:

9. What if we combined mass and volume?
If we compare an object’s mass and density, we can get a characteristic property from it called DENSITY. Dense gas: Not so dense gas:

11. Calculating Density
To calculate a substance’s density, divide the mass by the volume.

12. Density example:
Ms. Melanie finds a metal that has a volume of 1.2 cm3 and a mass of g. What is its density?

13. Density example:
You have a piece of wood that has a mass of 12 g and a volume of 15 mL. What is the density?
