DO NOW…. Which liquid has the highest density? Coussement, DeSchepper, et al., Brain Strains Power Puzzles 2002, page 16 least dense 1 < 3 < 5 < 2 < 4 most dense
Density Density is an INTENSIVEproperty INTENSIVE property of matter. - does NOT depend on quantity of matter. -Examples: color, melting point, boiling point, odor, density DIFFERENT THAN EXTENSIVE properties - depends on quantity of matter. - mass, volume, length Styrofoam Brick
Density M = D x V D = M VM V V = M DM D D M V ensity ass olume
Density calculations Density = Mass / Volume Everybody LOVES Density D =

Consider Equal Masses Equal masses… …but unequal volumes. The object with the larger volume (aluminum cube) has the density. aluminum gold Dorin, Demmin, Gabel, Chemistry The Study of Matter, 3 rd Edition, 1990, page 71 smaller Christopherson Scales Made in Normal, Illinois USA
