Density Cheat Sheet!!! (How to solve density!)
4 Steps to knowing how close those molecules are!
Practice Problem: Find the density of a liquid
that has a mass of 18 grams and a volume of 6 mL.
Step 1:Write the Equation
D= M
V
Step 2: Plug in the Numbers
D= 18g
6mL
Step 3: Solve (Divide the top by the bottom)
18÷6=3
Step 4: Bring down your units!
D=18 g
