DENSITY §Density = amount of matter per unit volume D = m/v (g/cm 3)

DENSITY §Density = amount of matter per unit volume D = m/v (g/cm 3) Mass usually expressed in grams Volume usually expressed in cm 3 or ml etc.

The “DMV” Triangle for Volume, Mass, and Density = M V Volume = M

The “DMV” Triangle for Volume, Mass, and Density = M V Volume = M D Mass = D x V M ÷ ÷ D X V

Density is the measure of the “compactness” of a material n. How close the atoms or molecules are to each other n. More than “heaviness” - density includes how much space an object takes up!! n. All substances have density including liquids, solids, and gases

Gases n. How much kinetic energy do the molecules have? ? n. The greater

Gases n. How much kinetic energy do the molecules have? ? n. The greater the kinetic energy n ……the greater the volume n …… and the less dense that gas is!! n. Therefore, cold air is more dense than warm air n

Low pressure weather system means warmer air tends to rise, High pressure systems indicate

Low pressure weather system means warmer air tends to rise, High pressure systems indicate a colder more dense air mass that will……. SINK!!!

LIQUIDS n The more dissolved solids in a solution, the more dense (such as

LIQUIDS n The more dissolved solids in a solution, the more dense (such as ocean water) n Cold water in lakes tend to sink (this creates a constant mixing of water, nutrients, and other substances) Kinetic energy again!! Denser layers to less dense layers…. .

SOLIDS n Ice is less dense than water (which is why lakes and ponds have a thin layer of ice covering in winter, with water underneath) n Various rocks, woods, metals have a characteristic density specific to that substance Wouldn’t you like to have a bunch of THIS dense material?

DETERMINING DENSITY n Regular Shapes – mass, then determine the volume by formula EX:

DETERMINING DENSITY n Regular Shapes – mass, then determine the volume by formula EX: cubes, cylinders, spheres, cones, etc. n Irregular shapes – mass, then measure displacement of a liquid (usually water) by that irregularly shaped object 1. Use a graduated cylinder 2. Add water to a predetermined level - record. 3. Gently drop in the irregularly shaped object. 4. Read the graduated cylinder – record. 5. Subtract the first water level from the second – this is the volume
