Density is a property of matter that is unique to each
substance. It is a measure of the mass of the substance
in a standard unit of volume.
Formula
The only way to decide the density of a substance is to measure its mass and
its volume, then divide.
Density = Mass ÷Volume
Units for density g/cm3
•Oil and water - In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the
top because it is less dense than water.
•A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the
Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.
•A piece of wood will float on water; but, most rocks are more
dense than water, so they will sink.
•Helium is less dense than air, so helium balloons rise.
•Oil floats on vinegar because its density is less.
•When adding motor oil to your car, you need to know the
recommended density.
