7. Mass, Volume, and Density
Physical Properties
Mass, Volume, and Density

8. What do you know about mass?

9. Mass Measure of the amount of matter that makes up an object.
Units used to designate mass are kilograms (kg)
You can measure an objects mass using a balance (triple beam, electronic, spring).

10. Volume
What is Volume?

11. Volume
Volume is a measurement of the three-dimensional space occupied by an object.
Units include cm3 and mL.
Solids, liquids, and gases all have volume, but you measure each differently.
Solid – calculate geometrically or displacement
Liquid – measure using a graduated cylinder

12. How does Density relate to Mass and Volume?

13. Density The amount of matter in a given space.
Does this sound familiar?
Concentration or Compactness
The unit for density is or .

14. Mass, Volume, and Density
Mass volume and density are directly related.
Practice Exercise:
Measure the mass and volume of an object in the room.
Calculate the Density of the Object.
What are the units associated with this calculation?

15. Formulae Density = Mass / Volume Mass = Density x Volume

16. Practice Problems
Calculate the volume of an object that is 34 cm by 25 cm by 8 cm.
Given: V = 50 mL D = .75 g/mL
Calculate: Mass
3. Given: M = 55 g D = 2.3 g/cm3
Calculate: Volume
Given: M = .13 kg V = 20 mL
Calculate: Density
