The density is calculated by taking the mass and dividing by the volume.

density = mass/volume

Common units are g/cc, or kg/dl

The specific gravity is calculated by taking the weight of an object in air and divided by the difference between the weight in air and the weight in water.

specific gravity = (mass in air) / ((mass in air) - (mass in water))

Since 1 cc of water weighs (about) 1 gram,

The specific gravity is essentially equal to the density when expressed in g/cc.

How do you compute mass with density and liters?

To compute mass using density and volume in liters, you use the formula: mass = density x volume. First, convert the volume from liters to cubic meters (1 liter = 0.001 cubic meters). Then multiply the density by the volume in cubic meters to find the mass.

Does the amount of matter you have change the density of the matter?

The density will change if the amount of matter in the same volume changes. You can have more matter wihtout changing the density, if the matter occupies more space.


How do you calculate density with length and width height?

Length, width and height will give you volume. You still cannot compute the density unless you know the mass.


Why is density considered an intrinsic property of matter?

Matter has got mass. Matter occupy space. The formula of density is mass upon volume. So matter has got density. So matter has to have density. That is why density is considered as intrinsic property of the matter.
