1. Density How tightly the atoms are packed together in an object

2. Density At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to: 1.Define density 2.Calculate the density of a given object if given the volume and mass 3.Calculate the volume or mass if the density is given with the volume or mass

3. Density Density = mass volume Mass = the amount of matter in an object Volume = the amount of space the object takes up Units = g/mL (liquid) OR g/cm 3 (solid)

4. DENSITY - an important and useful (qualitative) intensive physical property Mercury 13.6 g/cm 3 21.5 g/cm 3 Aluminum 2.7 g/cm 3 Platinum

6. Density Calculations M DV Cover up whatever unit you are solving for, the two units remaining will show you how to solve the problem.

7. Density Calculations Regularly Shaped Solid : mass = balance volume = measure (l x w x h) Irregularly Shaped Solid: mass = balance volume = water displacement

8. Density Calculations Liquid: volume = read graduated cylinder mass = tare graduated cylinder, mass liquid

9. Problem A piece of copper has a mass of 57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm 3 ). M DV

10. Strategy 1. Get dimensions in common units. 2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters. 3. Calculate the density.

11. SOLUTION 1. Get dimensions in common units. 2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters. 3. Calculate the density. (9.36 cm)(7.23 cm)(0.095 cm) = 6.4 cm 3 Note only 2 significant figures in the answer!

12. Euphemisms in Science We all know that some politicians and government spokesmen use certain euphemistic phrases to give an aura of respectability to descriptions of events or actions which would be offensive when expressed in plain English. The following is a list of Euphemisms in Science and their translations into plain English. “These results are correct within an order of magnitude...” Wrong!

13. DENSITYDENSITY Density is a (qualitative) intensive property of matter.  does NOT depend on quantity of matter.  like temperature Contrast with (quantitative) extensive property  depends on quantity of matter.  like mass and volume. StyrofoamBrick

14. PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm 3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg in grams? In pounds?

15. 1.Use density to calculate mass (g) from volume. 2.Convert mass (g) to mass (lb) Need to know conversion factor = 454 g / 1 lb First, note that 1 cm 3 = 1 mL Strategy

16. 1.Convert volume to mass 2. Convert mass (g) to mass (lb) Strategy

17. Learning Check Osmium is a very dense metal. What is its density in g/cm 3 if 50.00 g of the metal occupies a volume of 2.22 cm 3 ? 1) 2.25 g/cm 3 2)22.5 g/cm 3 3)111 g/cm 3

18. Solution 2) Placing the mass and volume of the osmium metal into the density setup, we obtain D = mass = 50.00 g = volume2.22 cm 3 volume2.22 cm 3 = 22.522522 g/cm 3 = 22.5 g/cm 3 = 22.522522 g/cm 3 = 22.5 g/cm 3
