Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. If you can take a unit volume, (1cm3) of a material, the measured mass is it's density.

Also, if you cannot separate out a unit volume, you can measure the volume of an object by immersing it in a liquid and measuring the volume of the liquid displaced by the object. Then measure the mass of that object. Density (Mass / Volume)

When mass is measured in kg, and volume in metres, Units of density is kg/m3

In Chemistry, however, density is measured in grams per cubic centimetre, g/cm3

Is density measured?

density= mass/volume


What is mass measured by?

Weight, volume, and density.


What is the calculation of the density of the mass of a solid material is measured as 15 grams and its volume is measured as 5 centimeters?

The formula for density is mass/volume, hence the density is 15/5=3g/cm3

It is not possible to answer the question because: density is not measured in cmvolume is not measured in cmwhile mass = density*volume, weight in not directly related to density.It is impossible to guess the correct units for density and volume.

What property is measured by massvolume?

Mass/Volume = Density.


What is measured in grams per cubic centimeter?

Mass is typically measured on a weighing device, such as a scale or balance. Volume is measured in a flask, beaker or other type of container.However since:M=mass, D=density, V=volume. M=DVSo if you know the density you can weigh the object and determine it's volume. Or you can measure the volume to determine the mass.


Is the density of a substance obtained by dividing its volume with its weight?

The density is measured by dividing the mass of the substance with it's volume. Density = Mass/Volume.


How do you find the density of ice?

This density is measured by several methods; the simplest is with the formula density=mass/volume.


What is the mass units for density?

Density is measured in units of mass divided by units of volume. The SI unit is kilograms/meter3.


How do you find water denser?

The density is measured with (as an example) with a densimeter.


How do you measure the density of a gas?

To measure the density of a gas you find the mass and volume, then divide the volume by the mass.


How is A dose of 7 grams measured in teaspoons?

It depends on the density of the material being measured. Grams measure mass while teaspoons measure volume. You can use density to convert between them since [density = mass / volume].
