Here are the solutions to the density problems:
1. Paper clip density = Mass/Volume = 9g/3cm3 = 3g/cm3
2. Eraser density = Mass/Volume = 3g/1cm3 = 3g/cm3
3. Rock density = Mass/Volume = 6g/3cm3 = 2g/cm3
4. Gel pen density = Mass/Volume = 8g/2cm3 = 4g/cm3
Here are the solutions to the density problems:
1. Paper clip density = Mass/Volume = 9g/3cm3 = 3g/cm3
2. Eraser density = Mass/Volume = 3g/1cm3 = 3g/cm3
3. Rock density = Mass/Volume = 6g/3cm3 = 2g/cm3

GRADE 7
CHEMISTRY EXPLAIN DENSITY(5.3) CHEMISTRY BOOK PAGES (84-85) Q) Which weighs more:- A kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of iron?
DENSITY
Objective: To describe how to determine density
using direct measurements of mass and volume WHAT IS DENSITY?
If you take the same volume of different substances,
then they will weigh different amounts.
Wood Water Iron
1 cm3 1 cm3 1 cm3
0.50 g 1.00 g 8.00 g
Q) Which has the greatest mass and therefore the most dense?
Density is the Mass per unit Volume
WHICH DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE THE GREATER VOLUME? THE GREATER MASS?
WHY? 1 kg of rocks 1 kg of feathers Density Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed and how heavy the molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume. WHICH ONE IS MORE DENSE?
Demonstration: People in a square
How about this: Which square is more dense?
TO FIND THE DENSITY
1- Find the mass of the object
2- Find the volume of the object
3- Divide Density = Mass g Volume c³
ALWAYS REMEMBER UNITS! MASS
Measurement of the amount of matter
(or stuff) in an object • Measured in grams (g) • You can measure it with balance
There are 3 states
of matter: Solid Liquid Gas VOLUME
Measurement of the amount of space an object takes up
• Measured in milliliters (ml) or cm3
• Volume = length x Width x Hight
To find density: 1) Find the mass of the object 2) Find the volume of the object 3) Divide : Density = Mass - Volume
Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3
of space, calculate the density. 1) Find the mass of the object To find density: 2) Find the volume of the object 3) Divide : Density = Mass - Volume Ex. If the mass of an object is 35 grams and it takes up 7 cm3 of space, calculate the density
Set up your density problems like this:
Given: Mass = 35 grams Unknown: Density (g/
cm3) Volume = 7 cm3 Formula: D = M / V Solution: D = 35g/7 cm3 D = 5 g/cm3 DENSITY OF AN IRREGULAR SOLID
• Find the Mass of the solid
on a balance. • Find the Volume. • Calculate the Density. DENSITY OF AN IRREGULAR SOLID = m = 360 =12.0 g/cm3 m = 360 g V 30 Find the Mass of the solid on a balance. Fill the Measuring Cylinder 80 cm3 with Water to a known Volume. Add the Object. 50 cm3 Work out the Volume of Water that is displaced. Calculate the Density. Ways to Affect Density CHANGE MASS AND KEEP VOLUME SAME Increase the mass increase density Decrease the mass decrease in density Which container has more density?
A B Ways to Affect Density CHANGE VOLUME AND KEEP MASS SAME Increase the volume decrease density Decrease the volume increase density Which container has more density?
A B WHAT 2 WAYS WILL INCREASE DENSITY? Keep the same mass AND decrease the volume Keep the same volume AND increase the mass If you have 2 or more substances, the MORE dense substance will be on bottom The LESS dense substance will be on top Which block X or Y has the greater mass?
5400 kg 7800 kg 2m3 1m3
X Y Density of Petrol = 800kg/m3 Density of water = 1000 kg/m3
Which has more mass 1m3 of petrol of 1m3 of
water?
1m3 of water LET’S TRY SOME DENSITY PROBLEMS TOGETHER WORK ON THESE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR
1 Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g and a volume of 3cm 3. What is its density?
2. Frank also has an eraser. It has a mass of 3g, and a volume of 1cm 3. What is its density?
3. Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 6g and a volume of 3cm 3. What is the density of the rock?
4. Jill has a gel pen. The gel pen has a mass of 8g and a volume of 2cm 3. What is the density of the rock?
