Physical Properties
Density it not measured directly, you measure the mass and volume
then calculate it using the equation:
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 =
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
Jet fuel is tested to ensure it meets certain standards.
One standard is density. If a sample of jet fuel has a
mass of 8.30 g and a volume of 10.3 mL, what is its
density?
mass = 8.30 g
Density volume = 10.3 mL
Example 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 =
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
8.30 𝑔
=
10.3 𝑚𝐿
𝑔
= 0.806 𝑚𝐿
You have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of
45 g. What is its density?
