DENSITY Depends on: Mass Volume D = m/v (g/cm3) Mass usually expressed in grams Volume usually expressed in cm3 or liters, etc. What would take up more space??? A kilogram of feathers…..or a kilogram of steel?? OR The proximity of like atoms or molecules More than just the “heaviness” of a substance, density includes how much space an object takes up!! All substances have density including liquids, solids, and gases Density is the measure of the “compactness” of a material “Compactness” DETERMINING DENSITY mass, then measure displacement of a liquid (usually water) by that irregularly shaped object Relative Density (Speific Gravity) Instead of just speaking of density, we use a standardized label, specific gravity. So we compare the density of a material vs. the density of water * ROCKS - pass around * Bread slice and compacted bread in large flask of water * Hot air balloon - Describe how a hot air balloon works. Defend your argument. * Relative Liquid densities: Oil, colored water, and corn syrup in a graduated cylinder. An H2O ice cube floats in liquid H2O but floats in rubbing alcohol. A can of diet coke floats in water while a can of regular coke sinks (can determine density of sugar versus NutraSweet using balance). * ROCKS - pass around * Bread slice and compacted bread in large flask of water * Hot air balloon - Describe how a hot air balloon works.
