Density = mass / volume
The density of an object affects how it will float in another. Example the density of hydrogen is ~ 0.08 g / L whereas the density of air is ~ 1.2 g/L. Therefore, hydrogen floats in air.
For an object to float in water it has to have a density less than 1.0 g/mL or 1.0kg/L.
- densities can be compared to see if an object will float.
- densities of pure substance can be checked with reference books or online. If a substance is impure then its density will not be the same as the reference value. Densities can be compared to check if the substance is pure. When Indiana Jones replaced a block of gold with an equal volume of water to avoid a trap springing would not have worked. Why? Density of gold is 19.3 times heavier than an equal volume of water.

The amount of matter in an object compared to the space it takes up?
The amount of matter in an object compared to the space it takes up is known as density. Density is a measure of how tightly packed the particles in an object are. Objects with higher density have more mass for a given volume compared to objects with lower density.
What is the density method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
Does water have a high density compared to other substances?
Yes, water has a relatively high density compared to many other substances.
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
Does Alcohol have a high density?
Well that depends, do you think 0.79 grams is high? Compared to water, which has a density of 1.0 grams.. so does alcohol have a high density compared to water? No. :P
What is the difference in nitrogen density compared to air?
The density of nitrogen is slightly higher than the density of air. This means that nitrogen molecules are more tightly packed together compared to the molecules in air.
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
What is the method?
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
Which word describes the amount of matter in an object compared with the space it takes up?
density
What is styrofoam density compared to water?
The density of styrofoam is lower: about 0.028 to 0.045 times that of water.
What defines the ratio of the density of a substance compared to the density of water at 4 celsius?
specific gravity
