1. Properties of Matter Notes

2. What is Matter? In your own words, write a definition for matter.
Our definition for matter is:
Matter is anything that has stuff in it (mass) and takes up space (volume)

3. Measurements of Matter
Mass
______________ : The amount of matter in an object
Most common units used to measure _____________are milligrams, grams, & kilograms
Volume: _________________________________
Most common units used to measure volume are: __________, ______ & ___________
1 mL = __ cm3 or cc (cubic centimeters)
Mass
The amount of space an object takes up
Milliliter
Liter
Centimeters cubed 1

4. Density
________: the amount of matter in an object per the amount of space the object takes up
Formula for density is: ______________
Labeled as g/mL, kg/L, g/cc, or mg/cm3
must have both mass and volume labels present
D = Mass Volume

5. How is Mass different than Weight
As long as you are on Earth, there really NOT a difference
However, there is a scientific difference
Mass is ______________________________
BUT
Weight is _____________________________
the amount of matter in an object
the measure of amount of gravitational pull on an object

6. Practice
If a box has a mass of 20 g and a volume of 10 cc, what is the density of the box?
D = g
10 cc
D = 2 g/cc

7. More Practice
If the volume of a rock is 250 mL and it has a mass of 125 g, what is its density?
D = 125 g
250 mL
D = 0.5 g/mL
