Density can be found by the formula ρ=m/V
where
ρ=density (kg/m3 or g/cm3)
m=mass (kg or g)
V=volume (m3 or cm3)
To find the density of iron, you must first know the mass of iron at a certain volume.
You can do this by using laboratory apparatus such as a measuring cylinder and/or a displacement can to find the volume of a piece of iron. Then using an electronic balance, find the mass of the same piece of iron.

Are iron filings a mixture?
Iron filings may be pure elemental iron, it depends on the source of the iron.
Are iron filings a compound mixture or element?
pure substance
What forms of iron would rust the fastest thin iron plate iron nail solid iron cube fine iron filings?
Fine iron filings
Explain how you can use physical properties to separate filings from sawdust?
If they are iron filings, you can use the property of magnetism to remove the iron filings using a magnet. You will need to rinse the iron filings with water after you remove them with the magnet in order to completely remove the sawdust from them.
What happens to iron filings and sulfur powder when heated?
When sufficiently heated, iron filings and sulfur react to produce a compound, iron (II) sulfide.
Why are iron filings used to find the magnetic field when copper filings are not?
Copper filings are not attracted to a magnet, as iron filings are.
What is the density of aluminum filings?
The density of pure aluminum is 2.7.Filings have a packing ratio of roughly 0.6 so the density of the filings is about 1.6. this of course depends greatly on the size and shape of the filings.
Are iron filings a mixture?
Iron filings may be pure elemental iron, it depends on the source of the iron.
How does the density of a 100-kg iron block compare with the density of an iron filing?
The density of iron is 7,874 kg/m3 or 7.874 g/cm3. The density of iron filing is somewhat lower depending upon how fine the filings are, but I guess more than 4000 kg/m3 or 4.0 g/cm3. The SI standard of density is measured in kg/m3. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The density of iron does not change with the size of the sample. A bucket full of iron filings will have a lower density than the block because there will be air between the individual filings. The density of a deep pile of filings will be greater than a thin pile because the weight of the filings above compacts the filings below by pushing out some of the air. However, the density of each individual piece will still be the same as for the whole block.
Are iron filings a compound mixture or element?
pure substance
What is the separation method for iron filings and sulphur to obtain iron filings?
magnetic separation.
What are the properties of iron filings?
iron
Is unheated sulfur and iron filings is substance or mixture?
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
What forms of iron would rust the fastest thin iron plate iron nail solid iron cube fine iron filings?
Fine iron filings
How do you separate iron filings from iron carbonate?
Pure iron filings will be attracted to a magnet; but pieces of iron carbonate will not.
What technique will use to separate ashes and iron filings with water?
separate iron filings AND ash from water by filtration or evaporation then, if required, separate iron filings from ash by using a magnetic field,
Explain how you can use physical properties to separate filings from sawdust?
If they are iron filings, you can use the property of magnetism to remove the iron filings using a magnet. You will need to rinse the iron filings with water after you remove them with the magnet in order to completely remove the sawdust from them.
