Density

Density can be calculated using the equation:

mass (kg)
density (kg/m3) =
volume (m3)

1. Calculate the density of an object with a mass of 2kg and a volume of 0.1m3.


density = kg/m3

2. A mixing bowl has a mass of 0.5kg. A baker adds 0.0002m3 of water to the mixing bowl until
the total mass of the bowl and water is 0.7kg.
Calculate the density of the water.


density = kg/m3

3. The baker adds an egg yolk to the mixing bowl. The egg yolk has a density of 1027kg/m3.
Explain what happens to the egg yolk when it is added to the water.


4. The density of gold is 19 300kg/m3. The standard volume for a gold bar is 0.00064m3.
Calculate the mass of a standard gold bar. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

5. The density of oak is 770kg/m3. The dimensions of an oak block are shown below.

0.2m

0.2m

0.6m

Calculate the mass of the block.



mass = kg

6. A concrete mixer truck has a mass of 8400kg when it is empty and 18 000kg when its drum is
full of concrete. The density of concrete is 2400kg/m3.
Calculate the volume of concrete that the truck can carry.


volume = m3

7. A bottle of sunflower oil has a mass of 1900g. An empty bottle has a mass of 50g. The density
of the sunflower oil is 925kg/m3.
Calculate the volume of the sunflower oil in the bottle.


volume = m3
