What else can I help you with?
How do you know an object has a density greater than water?
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
How do you know if a compound has a density less than 1 gmL?
If it floats in water, it has a density less than water. Density of water is 1.0 g/mL
What will happen to an object placed in water if the object's density is less than the density of water?
We both know it floats
How do you find the density of water if you know the volume?
The density is the ratio between mass and volume.
How do you know whether a substance has a greater density than water?
If it sinks in water then it has a higher density than water. If it floats on water surface then its density is less than water.
What is the density of quart of water and the density of a teaspoon of water are the what?
The density of a quart of water is around 1 kg/L or 1000 g/L, while the density of a teaspoon of water is roughly 4.93 g/cm³. This means that the quart of water is denser than a teaspoon of water.
How do you calculate the mass of water from its density?
To calculate the mass of water, you can multiply the density of water (1 g/cm3 or 1000 kg/m3) by the volume of water. The formula is: mass = density x volume. For example, if you have 1 liter of water, the mass would be 1000 grams.
What two properties must you know to determin density?
Density is a measure of mass to volume. The density of water at 4C is 1 g/ml. So to determine density of a substance you need to know the mass and the volume. Any density higher than 1 will sink in water and any density lower than 1 will float.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.
How do you know if a chemical will float in water?
A chemical will float in water if its density is less than the density of water (approximately 1 g/cm3). This can be determined by comparing the densities of the chemical and water. If the chemical's density is less than water, it will float; if it is greater, it will sink.
How can you figer out the mass and voluem of somthing floating on water?
Water has a density of 1, so if the object floats, you know the object's density is less than 1. Density is mass divided by volume.
