What are some less dense materials?
This is the mass divided by the volume of a substance. Generally, gases are less dense than liquids, which are less dense than solids….Densities of Common Substances.
| Material | Density (g/cm3) | State of Matter |
|---|---|---|
| ethanol (grain alcohol) | 0.810 | liquid |
| benzene | 0.900 | liquid |
| ice | 0.920 | solid |
| water at 20°C | 0.998 | liquid |
What has a density of 1?

What two factors affect density?
Key Concepts
- Density is a characteristic property of a substance.
- The density of a substance is the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up (volume).
- The mass of atoms, their size, and how they are arranged determine the density of a substance.
Which is the least densest?
The least dense substance is the gas hydrogen. Its atomic mass is 2 grams per mole. At Standard Temperature and Pressure one mole has a volume of 22.4 liters. Since density is mass over volume the density of the hydrogen gas is 2 grams divided by 22.4 liters.
Is high density heavy or light?
If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.
What is common density?
The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. For example, the density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimetre, and Earth’s density is 5.51 grams per cubic centimetre.
What is the sentences of density?
1) Do you know the density of population in this area? 2) The sample’s density is a measure of its purity. 3) The increasing population density will even further congeal traffic. 4) The region has a very high population density.
What grade do students learn density?
Calculating and Defining Density The class learns how to define and calculate density. This science lesson is most appropriate for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.
How do you teach students about density?
Introduce one lab BEFORE you teach what density is, and allow students to discuss why some objects sink, why some float, and how mass and volume are related. Then AFTER you teach what density is and how to calculate it, introduce another lab where students can actually measure the density of objects.
