GR 8 Density in Regular and Irregular Objects

Density is the amount of mass in a given volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Regular shaped objects have their volume calculated by multiplying length, width, and height. Irregular shaped objects have their volume determined through water displacement. Objects with a higher density than water will sink, while objects with a lower density will float.

Density
• The amount of mass in a given volume

• All solids, liquids, and gases have density


Density
• Which one is more dense?
Which one Density
is more dense?
• Now which one is more dense?
Density Equation
Formula: Density = Mass ÷ Volume

M = mass V= volume D = density

M=DxV V=M/D D=M/V


Density of Regular
Shaped Objects
• Mass can be determined using a triple beam balance or
an electronic scale

• Volume can be determined by measuring and


multiplying: Length x Width x Height

• Examples of regular shaped objects – tissue box,


packing box, cube

LxWxH
Example #1
Calculate the density of the object below.

Mass = 48 grams

Density = Mass ÷ Volume


2 cm
Density = 48 grams ÷ 24 cm3
4 cm
Density = 2 grams/cm3
3 cm
Volume = L x W x H
Volume = 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm
Volume = 24 cm3
Example #2
Calculate the density of the object below.

Mass = 136 grams Volume = 8 cm3

2 cm

2 cm
2 cm

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Density = 136 grams ÷ 8 cm3

Density = 17 grams/cm3
Density of Irregular
Shaped Objects
• Mass can be determined using a triple beam balance or
an electronic scale

• Volume can be determined using water displacement


with a graduated cylinder

• Examples of irregular shaped objects – rock or mineral,


jewelry, paperclip
Example #1
Calculate the density of the object below.
Mass = 60 grams
18 mL 30 mL
Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Density = 60 grams ÷ 12 mL

Density = 5 grams/mL

Volume = 30 mL – 18 mL
Volume = 12 mL
Example #2
Calculate the density of the object below.
Mass = 90 grams
60 mL 75 mL
Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Density = 90 grams ÷ 15 mL

Density = 6 grams/mL

Volume = 75 mL – 60 mL
Volume = 15 mL

process of calculating the
volume of an irregular
shaped object.
Density
Do Now
1. Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9.0g and a volume
of 3.0cm3. What is its density?

2. Frank also has an eraser. It has a mass of 3.0g, and a


volume of 1.0cm3. What is its density?

3. Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 6.0g and a volume
of 3.0cm3. What is the density of the rock?

4. Jill has a gel pen. The gel pen has a mass of 8.0g and a
volume of 2.0cm3. What is the density of the rock?
Density
• The density of water is 1 g/mL

• Objects that have a density greater than 1 g/mL will


sink in water

• Objects that have a density less than 1 g/mL will float


in water
Density
• If you pour together liquids
that don’t mix and have
different densities, they will
form liquid layers

• The liquid with the highest


density will be on the bottom

• The liquid with the lowest


density will be on the top
Example #1
The density of five liquids are measured as follows:
• Liquid 1: 1.0 g/mL
• Liquid 2: 1.38 g/mL
• Liquid 3: 0.77 g/mL 5
• Liquid 4: 2.95 g/mL
•
3
Liquid 5: 0.056 g/mL

Draw a picture of all 5 liquids in a test tube how
they would layer according to density
Example #2
Imagine that the liquids
on the right have the
following densities:
15.0g/cm 3 3g/cm3

10.0g/cm3 7g/cm3
3.0g/cm3
9.0g/cm3 9g/cm3
7.0g/cm3 10g/cm3
12.0g/cm3
12g/cm3

15g/cm3
Match the colors to the
correct densities
