Density Practice Problems Worksheet

1) Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a certain volume, with substances of higher density like steel having molecules packed more tightly together than lower density substances like cork. 2) Density can be calculated by dividing a substance's mass by its volume, and the density of a homogeneous substance will be the same regardless of the size or shape of the sample. 3) Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating density using the density formula of density equals mass divided by volume, including finding densities of various substances from their given masses and volumes.

Problems
The density of a substance is a measure of how much mass is packed
into a certain volume of the substance. Substances with a high density,
like steel, have molecules that are packed together tightly. Substances with a low
density, like cork, have fewer molecules packed into the same amount of space.
The density of a substance can be found by dividing its mass by its volume.
As long as a substance is homogeneous, the size or shape of the sample doesnt
matter. The density will always be the same. This means that a steel paper clip has
the same density as a steel girder used to build a bridge.
Density = Mass Volume

V

Use the density formula to solve the following problems. Show all work and the
answer must have the correct units. Remember that volume can have different
forms. A block of ice with a volume of 3 cm3 would be 3 mL of liquid after being
melted.
