Density Notes:
AIM: How can we find the density of a substance?
How is density used to identify substances?
1. Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance.
In other words;
how much stuff in an certain space
2. Density =
mass (g)
volume (cm3) or (ml)
3. Every substance has a specific density. Density can be used to
identify substances. Ex: Copper = 8.9 g/cm3
4. All substances are at their highest density in the solid phase
EXCEPT water. How can we tell that solid water (ice) is less dense
that liquid water?
________________________________________________
Thought - How would the world be different if water was most dense
in the solid phase?
Find the density ( 3 steps )
1. mass = 3.5g
volume = 11.5cm3
2. mass = 178.26g
volume = 23.67cm3
3. Density = 3.4g/cm3
mass = 24.4g
Density Notes (cont):
Factors Affecting Density:
1. Temperature affects Density Inversely
(assume no phase change) Explain how the Ring/Ball demo shows this.

2. Pressure affects Density Directly
Explain how the Cheesy-Poof squishing demonstrates this.

3. The amount of material (volume of substance at
standard temp and press.) does not change the
Density of the material.
The Density of Aluminum is
“always” 2.7g/cm3
