Calculate the volume of the substance by measuring the length, width and height. The formula looks like this: Volume = L (length) x W (width) x H (height).
Determine if the object or substance is irregularly shaped. If so, you can determine the volume by finding out how much water is displaced when the object is dropped into a beaker of water.
Calculate the density once you know the volume and mass of the substance or object. Density is equal to the mass of the substance divided by its volume: D (density) = M (mass) / V (volume).

How can you determine the density of a substance?
Use the formula density = mass divided by volume.
How do you use water to determine density?
You use water displacement and plug the numbers into the density equation. Below is a step by step guide on how to use it. 1. Get a graduated cylinder, or anything that you can measure water in. 2. Fill the graduated cylinder with water. 3. Record the volume 4. Place the object you want to find the density of in the water. 5. Subtract the value you got in #3 from #4. This number represents the volume of the object you want to find the density of. 6. Take the object you want to find the density of, and weigh it. 7. Then take the 2 numbers you got and plug them into the formula d=m/v D=density, m=mass (weight in grams), v=volume NOTE: The ONLY liquid you can use for water displacement is WATER!
Methanol has a density of 0.79 what would the mass of 589mL of methanol be?
To solve this question you need to use the formula, density = mass/volume. So the equation would be 0.79 = mass/589mL. The answer is 465g.
What volume would 396g occupy?
396 g of what? - It really depends on the specific substance. The formula to use is:volume = mass / density
How many grams are in 1liter C5H12?
The density of isopentane = 0.616 grams/milliliter so, change 1 liter to milliliters and use density formula D = grams/ml 0.616 g/ml = grams/1000 ml = 616 grams of C5H12
What is the formula you use to calculate the density of an object?
Object's density = (its mass) divided by (its volume)
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
What formula would you use to calculate the density of an object?
mass/volume
What is the formula for finding the mass of an object?
To find the volume of an object use the formula v=dm where Volume=Density x Mass To find the mass of an object use the formula m=dv where Mass=Density x Volume
What formula do scientists use to calculate an object's density?
Density is defined as the mass divided by the volume. This definition can, in many cases, also be used to measure the density.
What is the volume of 220g of an object with a density of 55gm?
The idea is to use the formula mass = volume x density. Replace the numbers you know, and solve.
What formula would you use to find the mass of an object if you know density and volume?
Mass divided by volume equals density. or m/v = d.
How do you find the mass of an object whos dansity is 7g and the volume is 13?
Use the formula Mass = Density/Volume
What is the calculus formula to find the density of an irregular shaped object?
There is no general formula. Many times an object can be looked at as the sum of smaller parts for which a formula is known. Ultimately all shapes can be reduced to small polyhedrons and then summed.
How can you use density to determine whether an object will float or sink?
If any object has a density higher that 1 it will sink because water has a density of exactly 1. If the density is less than 1 it will float. Here is the formula for density...D=m/v or density equals mass over volume.
What formula do you use to calculate the density of an object?
by calculate density by dividind the mass of space
How buoyancy force works?
its use formula : Fa = density . gravitation . high because water can lift up an object so if an object dipped in water', mass of an object will decrease
