Density is a helpful property of matter when trying to distinguish different substances. The value of Density is determined by dividing the AMOUNT of MASS by the AMOUNT of VOLUME for a particular substance.

The density of water is 1 g/mL. If an object has a density GREATER than “1 g/mL” it will SINK. If the object has a density LESS than “1 g/mL” it will FLOAT. However, if an object has a density EQUAL to “1 g/mL it will FLINK.

When working with the density formula you won’t always be finding density.

You can use the “TRIANGLE TRICK” to help figure out how to find the missing quantity (number, variable).

1) Identify which number values you have by looking at the unit label (mass, volume or density?)

Mass UNIT GRAM or any form of gram…kg, cg, mg

Volume UNIT mL, cc, cm3, m3

L

Density UNIT Combination unitg/mL, g/cc, g/cm3

mass volume

2) Place each number into their correct place in the triangle.

Volume Number

Mass Number

Density Number

3. If you have a top and bottom variable in the triangle – DIVIDE (numerator by denominator) to find the missing variable.

If you have the two variables on the bottom – MULTIPLY them to find the top variable.

Volume Number

Mass Number

Density Number

divide

multiply

1. Complete all the problems by showing your work.

2. Hint: If the problem is worth more than 5 points you may have to:

1) Solve for Volume First, then Solve for Density

2) Answer a question as well
