Density Problem Solving

The document contains 10 problems involving calculating density using measurements of mass and volume. The problems involve determining densities of wood, metal beads, solutions, ice, and gasoline. They also involve calculations to determine volumes based on given densities and masses or determining how much material a container can hold based on its density.

PROBLEM SOLVING: DENSITY

1. What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 25.0


grams and a volume of 29.4 cm ? 3

2. A piece of wood that measures 3.0 cm by 6.0 cm by 4.0 cm has a


mass of 80.0 grams. What is the density of the wood? Would
the piece of wood float in water?
3. A cup of gold colored metal beads was measured to have a mass
of 425 grams. By water displacement , the volume of the beads
was calculated to be 48.0 cm . Given the following densities,
3

identify the metal.


Gold: 19.3 g/ml Copper: 8.86 g/ml
Bronze: 9.87 g/ml
4. You threw a plastic ball in the pool for your dog to fetch. The
mass of the ball was 125 g. What must the volume be to have a
density of0.500 g/ml (It should float in water).
5. After throwing the ball in the pool, the ball sprung a leak and
began to fill with water. How many ml of water can the ball absorb
before the ball sinks?
6. What is the mass of a cylinder of lead that is 2.50 cm in diameter,
and 5.50 cm long. The density of lead is 11.4 g/ml and the volume
of a cylinder is V = r h?
2

7. The volume of a solution was measured in a graduated cylinder,


45 ml. If the mass of solution is measured to be 60.75 g, what is the
density of the solution?
8. An ice cube measuring 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm has a density of 0.917
g/ml. What is the mass?
9. Gasoline is a non-polar liquid that will float on water. 450 grams
of gasoline is spilled into a puddle of water. If the density of
gasoline is 0.665 g/ml, what volume of gasoline is spilled?
10. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. If the mass of a piece of
aluminum is 244 grams, what is the volume of the aluminum?
