Density Calculations Worksheet
Formulas
_Mass (m)_
Density (d) =
Volume (v)
Volume (v) = Length (l) x Width (w) x Height (h)

Units of Density
1 ml = 1 cm3
Solids = g/cm3
Liquids = g/ml
Gasses = g/ml

1) Find the unknown quantity:

a) d = 3 g/ml b) d = ? c) d = 5 g/cm3
v = 100 ml v = 95 ml v=?
m= m = 950 g m = 20 g

write formula: m=dXv write formula: m=dXv

Sub. known info: m= 3g/ml X 100ml Sub. known info: 950= Xg/ml X Sub. known info: 20 = 5g/ml X
Solve: m=300 g 95 ml, Xcm3
d=10 g/ml v=4 cm3

d) d = 24 g/ml e) d = ? f) d = 250 g/cm3

v = 1200 ml v = 100 ml v=?
m=? m = 1500 g m = 1000 g
Sub. known info: m= 24g/ml X
1200ml Sub. known info: 1500 = Xg/ml X Sub. known info: 1000 = 250g/cm3
100ml X Xcm3
m= 28800 g d=15 ml/g v=4cm3
WORD PROBLEMS

2) A cube of aluminum measures 3 cm on each side and weighs 81 g. What is its density? (HINT:
find the volume of the block first)

D=3g/cm3

M=81 g

V= 27 cm3

3) Mercury metal is poured into a graduated cylinder that holds exactly 22 ml. The mercury used
to fill the cylinder weighs 308 g. From this information, calculate the density of mercury.

D= 14 g/ml

M= 308 g

V= 22 ml

4) What is the mass of the gas that exactly fills a 200.0 ml container? The density of the gas is 5
g/ml.
D= 5 g/ml

M= 1000 g

V= 200 ml

5) A rectangular block of metal weighs 480 g. The dimensions of the block are 8 cm by 5 cm by 4
cm. From this data, what is the density of copper? (HINT: find the volume of a block first)

D= 3 g/cm3

M= 480 g

V= 160 cm3

6) What volume of silver will weigh exactly 2500 g. The density of silver is 10 g/cm 3.

D= 10 g/cm3

M= 2500 g

V= 250 cm3
7) Find the mass of 250 ml of water. The density of water is 1 g/ml.

D= 1 g/ml

M=250 g

V= 250 ml

8) A block of metal has dimensions of 2 cm by 5 cm by 6 cm. The block weighs 780 g. From this
information, calculate the density.
D= 13 g/cm3

M= 780 g

V= 60 cm3

9) 28 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 40 ml of water. The water level
rises to the 44 ml mark. From this information, calculate the density of iron.

D= 7 g/ml

M= 28 g

V= 4 ml
