Density = mass / volume

1. Density Calculation
A bar of gold has a mass of 12.4 g and a volume of 642 cm³.
Calculate its density.
(Answer: ≈ 0.0193 g/cm³)

2. Volume from Density and Mass


A silver block has a density of 10.5 g/cm³ and a mass of 525 g.
What is its volume?
(Answer: 50 cm³)

3. Mass from Density and Volume


A piece of iron (density = 7.87 g/cm³) occupies 25 cm³. What is
its mass?
(Answer: 196.75 g)

4. Unit Conversion Challenge


A wooden cube has a volume of 0.5 liters. If the wood’s density
is 0.6 g/cm³, what is its mass in kilograms? Hint 1mL = 1cm3
Or liter to cm³ ( liter x1000)
(Answer: 0.3 kg)
5. Real-World Application
A crown’s mass is 1.2 kg, and its volume is 152 cm³. Is it pure
gold (density = 19.3 g/cm³)? HINT : 1kg = 1000 g
(Answer: No, density ≈ 7.89 g/cm³)

6. Water Displacement Method


A marble’s mass is 42 g. When submerged, it displaces water
from 200 mL to 215 mL. Find its density.
(Answer: 2.8 g/cm³)

7. Comparing Densities
Which has a greater mass: 50 cm³ of copper (8.96 g/cm³) or 60
cm³ of lead (11.34 g/cm³)?
(Answer: Lead, 680.4 g vs. 448 g)

8. Calculating Required Volume


How many cm³ of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³) are needed
for a mass of 250 g?
(Answer: ≈ 316.86 cm³)

9. Floating or Sinking?
An object has a density of 0.92 g/cm³. Will it float in water?
Explain.
(Answer: Yes, less dense than water [1 g/cm³])
10. Average Density of a Mixture
200 g of sand (density = 2.65 g/cm³) is mixed with 300 g of
gravel (density = 2.75 g/cm³). What is the mixture’s average
density?
(Answer: ≈ 2.71 g/cm³)
