MASS, VOLUME & DENSITY

1. A metal ball has a mass of 2kg and a volume of 6 m3. What is its density?

2. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3. What is the mass of the water if it fills a 10 ml container?

3. A certain gas expands to fill a 3 L container. Its mass is measured to be 0.6 kg. What is its density?

4. What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200 cm3 container? The density of ethyl
alcohol is 0.789 g/cm3.

Use the following information on the table to answer questions 5 through 7

Material Mass / gr Volume / cm3

Alcohol 8 10
Dishwashing Soap 8 6
Water 5 5
Oil 9.5 10

5. Plot a graph (graph paper) containing the (4) four lines (slopes) of the different materials.
6. By looking at your graph and without any calculations, which material is the densest?

7. Which of them is the least dense? How can you tell?

8. Calculate the density of water in gr/ cm3. Then calculate it in kg/m3.

9. Label the following apparatus

10. Which of the previous apparatus would you use to determine the volume of an irregular shaped object, like a
rock? Explain the procedure.
