Density Calculations Worksheet
Units of Density
1 ml = 1 cm3
Solids = g/cm3
Liquids = g/ml
Gases = g/ml
v
Formulas
_Mass (m)_
Density (d) =
Volume (v)
Volume (v) =
Length (l) x Width (w) x Height (h)
1) Find the unknown quantity:
a) d = 3 g/ml
v = 100 ml
m=?
b) d = ?
v = 95 ml
m = 950 g
c) d = 5 g/cm3
v=?
m = 20 g
e) d = ?
v = 100 ml
m = 1500 g
f) d = 250 g/cm3
v=?
m = 1000 g
write formula: m=dXv
Sub. known info: m= 3g/ml X 100ml
Solve: m=300 g
d) d = 24 g/ml
v = 1200 ml
m=?
