Topic of the Day: 1.2 Formulas and Density
Date: 8/18(A) or 8/19(B)
Last class, what did we use to
determine density?
Investigation: Density
Liquid Mass (g) Volume (mL) Density (g/mL) Observation
Liquid Plumber 19.34g 16 1.20875g/ml
Smells bad, clear
water
Pine Sol 36.68 g 39 mL .99 g/mL Yellow liquid
Milk 28.3 28ml 1.01 white/clumpy
Ammonia 59.9g 60ml 0.98g/ml clear
Distilled Water 10 g 10 mL 1 g/mL clear liquid
Vinegar 8.345 g 8 mL 1.073 g/mL clear liquid, dank
Topic of the Day:
1.2 Formulas and Density
*Essential Question: How is density
calculated in different substances?*
A. What is density?
1. Density is a measure of how tightly packed
particles are in an object.
B. What is a particle?
1. Particle: smallest constant unit of matter.
Note: We usually represent particles as circles or
spheres
C. Does density change in an object?
1. Pure substances made up of only one type
of particle
The density does not change with volume WHY?
2. Impure substances made up of more than
one type of material (mixtures)
The density does change with volume. WHY?
Does density change in an object?
D. What is the formula for density?
D = m
v

1. D = Density
Units = g/mL or g/cm
3

2. m = mass
Unit = grams (g)
3. V = volume
Unit = mL or cm
3

1 mL = 1 cm
3

How do I use a formula (to calculate density)?
G.U.E.S.S.
1. Identify the given numbers with unit.
2. Identify your unknown, what are you solving for?
3. Decide what equation to use.
Pick the equation/formula that has only the ONE
UNKNOWN youre looking for AND you have values for
every other variable
Note: you may have extra numbers! Dont worry.
4. Substitute the numbers into the equation
(formula) in the SAME order as given in the
equation.
5. Solve for your unknown- make sure your answer
has a unit!!!
Example #1: A student determines the volume of an
unknown liquid to be 93.5 mL. If the mass of the
sample is 75.6 g, what is the density of this sample?
1. Given: V = 93.5 mL, m = 75.6 g
2. Unknown: Density or D
3. Equation: D = m/V
4. Substitute: D = 75.6 g / 93.5 mL
5. Solve: D = 0.809 g/mL

What is the density of water?
Will this sample float or sink when placed in water?

FLOAT!!
1 g/mL
Example #2: Platinum is known to have a density
of 21.46 g/cm
3
. If a student has a 4.5 cm
3
sample
of pure platinum, what is the mass of the sample?
1. Given: V = 4.5 cm
3
, D = 21.46 g/cm
3

2. Unknown: mass or m
3. Equation: D = m/V
4. Substitute: 21.46 g/cm
3
= m / 4.5 cm
3

5. Solve: D = 96.6 g or 97 g

What is the density of water?
Will this sample float or sink when placed in
water?

1 g/mL
SINK!!
White Board Practice #1: A student calculates the
volume of a 45.1 g sample of gold to be 2.33 cm
3
.
What is the density of gold?
1. Given: V = 2.33 cm
3
, m = 45.1 g
2. Unknown: Density or D
3. Equation: D = m/V
4. Substitute: D = 45.1 g/ 2.33 cm
3

5. Solve: D = 19.4 g/mL

What is the density of water?
Will this sample float or sink when placed in
water?

1 g/mL
SINK!!

Complete the problems on your worksheet ON
YOUR OWN for the first 10 minutes!
For the second 10 minutes you may talk to your
partners to help you through your work!
If you have a question
1. Look at your beautiful notes
2. Ask a peer for a clarification or explanation (you
wont learn if you just copy answers!)
3. Raise your hand and Ill come by! (But only if youve
done 1 and 2 first! )
When you finish your practice packet, complete
the vocabulary words for today!
