1
Density
2
Demos for this lecture 1 kg mass (Is it heavy?) 50 ml of alcohol and 50ml of water in graduated cylinders on a double pan balance.
3
Archimedes
4
Archimedes and the Golden Crown
6
Density Density is how compact matter is. More mass shoved into a certain amount of space makes something more dense.
7
Density Considers Two Things How much mass is present. How much volume does it take up. Make sure to consider both these factors when discussing density.

9
A A 1.What does Figure A illustrate about the density of the two metals? Explain.
10
A A 2. What does Figure B illustrate about the density of the two metals? Explain.
11
A A 3. If the cube of aluminum in figure B were cut into four equal parts. How would the density of one part compare to the whole cube ?
12
A A 4. Metals expand when heated. If the gold cube in part B is heated, what will happen to its density?
13
Does it Float? If something floats or rises it is less dense than the material it is floating/rising in. Objects of greater density will sink.
20
Density Density is the mass per unit volume. –How much mass there is in a certain amount of space.
21
Density Density is the mass per unit volume. Density = Mass ÷ Volume
22
Density Density is the mass per unit volume. D = Mass ÷ Volume ÷
23
Solving For Variables
24
Common Volume Units
25
Illegal ivory is often detected on the basis of density. What is the density of the elephant tusk? Mass = 2680g Volume = 1450cm 3
26
Illegal ivory is often detected on the basis of density. What is the density of the elephant tusk? Mass = 2680g Volume = 1450cm 3 D = M ÷ V = 2680g ÷ 1450cm 3 = 1.8482g/cm 3 = 1.85g/cm 3
27
Calcium chloride is used as a deicer on roads in winter. Its density is 2.50g/cm 3. What mass of calcium chloride will the truck hold if its volume is 4560L?
28
4560L = 4,560,000cm 3
29
Calcium chloride is used as a deicer on roads in winter. Its density is 2.50g/cm 3. What mass of calcium chloride will the truck hold if its volume is 4560L? 4560L = 4,560,000cm 3 M = D x V = 2.50g/cm 3 x 4,560,000cm 3 = 11,400,000g
30
The density of methanol is 0.788g/cm 3. What is the minimum volume of a tank that can hold 795kg of methanol.
31
795kg = 795,000g
32
The density of methanol is 0.788g/cm 3. What is the minimum volume of a tank that can hold 795kg of methanol. 795kg = 795,000g V = M ÷ D = 795,000g ÷ 0.788g/cm 3 = 1,008,883cm 3 = 1,010,000cm 3 How many liters is this?
33
The density of methanol is 0.788g/cm 3. What is the minimum volume of a tank that can hold 795kg of methanol. 1,010,000cm 3 ÷ 1000 cm 3 /L = 1010L
