Density is the weight of an object per unit of volume. For instance, the density of gold is 19 grams per cubic centimeter. To calculate the density of an object divide the weight of the object by the volume.

What substance that is calculated by its mass by volume?
No substance is calculated that way. Mass per unit volume is called the density of a substance or object, which is a property or unit of measure of a substance.
Density of a substance?
Density is the mass per unit volume of the substance and for any "lump" of the substance may be calculated by Mass/Volume in the appropriate units.
What is density and how is it calculated?
Density is a very important property which can be used to identify a substance. We can calculate Density by dividing mass by volume.Density is the measure of how compact something is. To calculate density, take the mass of the substance, and divide it by the volume of the substance.
What substance can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume?
It's not exactly a "substance" but Density = Mass / Volume
How do you calculate the density of dextrose?
The density of any substance can be easily calculated knowing that it is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance divided by the volume it occupies.
What is sugar's density?
Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.
Projects of chemistry 0f class11?
1.Are there any differences between the calculated density and the experimental density of a substance? If so, why?
What two things must you know about density?
In order to calculate the density of a substance, you must know the volume and the weight of a sample. Then the density is calculated as Density = (Weight) divided by (Volume).
How do you find mass when density is only given?
The relation between mass(M), density(ρ) and volume(V) is given by: M = ρ x V. So mass can be calculated only if both density and volume are known. Density is a measure of amount of substance per unit volume, so mass can't be calculated until the volume of substance is known.
What is the amount of mass in a given volume?
The mass in a given volume can be calculated from the density of the substance. Density = mass/vol so mass = density x volume
The ratio of the mass of an object to its volume is defined as the object?
Density is the ratio of mass to volume of a substance. d = rho = m / V Density generally depends upon the following : ( 1 ) Identity of the substance ( 2 ) Temperature ( 3 ) Pressure for gases
What is meant by relative density of a substance?
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of density of any substance to the density of water at 4 degree celcius.Formula=Density of any substance/Density of water at 4 degree celcius.
