Directions: Complete the following density problems. You must show all work to receive credit.
Remember to include your units.
1. A block of aluminum has a mass of 36.40 g and a volume of 13.5 cm3. What is the
block’s density?
2. The density of CCl4 (carbon tetrafluoride) is 1.58 g/mL. What is the mass of 95.7 mL of
CCl4?
3. What is the volume of 227 g of olive oil if its density is 0.92 g/mL?
4. Calculate the density of a piece of metal if its mass is 201.0 g and its volume is 18.9 cm3?
5. The density of air is 1kg/m3. What is the density of air in g/cm3?
6. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. What is the mass of water in kilograms in a bathtub
whole volume is 3 m3?
7. Equal amounts of three liquids – carbon tetrachloride (D = 1.58 g/cm3), mercury (D =
13.546 g/cm3), and water (D = 1.00 g/cm3) – are mixed together. After mixing, they
separate to form three distinct layers. Draw and label a sketch showing the order of the
layers in the test tube.
