-The mass density or density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ
Formula:
-Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume,Volume us defined as Mass divided by Density,and Mass is defined as Density multiply Volume:
- V=M/ ρ , M= ρ v
we can use formula: ρ=1200g/1.25=9.60g/l
Ex2. Neon is contained in a glass bulb having a volume of 22.4L. If the density of the neon is 0.900g/L, what is the mass of neon in the bulb?
we can use formula: M=density x Volume, 0.900x 22.4=20.2g
Ex3. What is the volume of a tank that can hold 18 754 Kg of methanol whose density is 0.788g/cm3?
if they have different Units, we should change Units first, and then calculate!!
1.0.788g/cm3 became 0.000788kg/cm3
2. we use: V=Mass/Density, 18754/0.000788=2380000000cm3
