I would do it the same way Archimedes did;
Weigh the substance, then immerse it in a substance that would not affect it, i.e. water, alcohol, etc., to determine the volume of the sample of the substance, then divide the weight by the volume and reduce the result to grams/cubic centimetre, or whatever unit is convenient;
g/cc
kg/L
tonne/hectolitre, etc., etc.
OR: Measure the mass and volume of the substance, then divide the mass by the volume

Why is density of a substance important?
it is important to calculate the density of a substance because this way you are able to find the volume of a substance like which liquid is a heavier flow or thicker molecules in it
Explain how to find the density of a substance?
divide its mass with its volume
When you divide the mass of a substance by its volume you get its what?
When we divide the mass of a substance by its volume we get its density.
Why does the density of a substance not change no matter how much of the substance you have?
Because density is a "ratio".
Is it true that the density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?
No, as density also depends on the state of matter in the sample of the substance.
How do you find the density of a substance?
30g=15c cm=60c cm density
How do you find a density of a substance?
30g=15c cm=60c cm density
Why is density of a substance important?

What things must you know to find the density of a material?
To find the density of a material all you need to know is the mass and volume of the substance. if you knw the mas and volume...finding out the density is very simple...all you need to do is mass/volume and you will have the density of that substance!
Does the density of a substance depend on mass and volume?
yes, to find the density, you do mass divided by volume
Explain how to find the density of a substance?
divide its mass with its volume
What measurements must be known in order to find the density of a substance?
To find the density of a substance, you need to know its mass and its volume. The mass is usually measured in grams or kilograms, while the volume can be measured in cubic centimeters or milliliters for solid objects, or in liters for liquids. By dividing the mass by the volume, you can calculate the density of the substance.
How do you determine the identity of an unknown substance by observing its mass and volume?
All you can do with mass and volume is to determine the density of the substance. density = mass / volume or p=m/v after you determine the density, you can look on any density table and find the substance you are looking for. good look. -julio
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.
How do you calculate the density of a substance?
Density is the mass of a substance divided by the volume of that same mass of substance.
If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
density is mass divided by /volume so mass is density times volume
How do you find the density of a substance by dividng?
Mass divided by volume. M/V
