A cup is a cooking measure of a volume, that is 0.2365882368 liters, equal to 16 tablespoons. If you have a cup of something, you can weigh it and determine the density of your 'something', but to express it in the correct scientific form, you need to convert the cup to liters and find the weight in kilograms.

Why does density decrease when volume increases?
Because density is the relationship between weight and volume. If you're just increasing volume, making the stuff fluffier, then for each unit of volume the weight will be less. Let's say you have a cup of cream. If you turn it into whipped cream it'll still weigh the same, but now it won't fit in the cup any more. More volume, same weight - lower density.
Why wont gas stay in a cup?
Gas will stay in a cup. If the gas is denser then air, it will settle into the cup and stay there in much the same way that a liquid will. If the gas is close to the same density as the air, or lighter, it will float away and mix with the air.
Relation of Salinity and Total Dissolved Solids?
Density depends on salinity to tell how dense something is so if you had a cup of salty water and a cup of not salty water, then the salty water would be denser than the cup of not salty water.
How to determine specific gravity of oils?
The term specific gravity means density in comparison to that of water. Density is weight divided by volume. So to get the volume, pour the oil into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup (same principle). To get the weight, use a scale (a chemist would use a triple beam balance). Once you have the density you can divide it by the density of water, and the result is the specific gravity.
How do you measure the density of oil in water?
Objects/substances that are more dense sink relative to objects/substances that are less dense. Pour the oil and water into the one container contemporaneously. Then wait. The less dense substance will rise to the top.
Why does a cup of nothing float?
it has a higher density
What is the density of ¼ cup of water?
236.588 grams
How many cups on a pound?
That depends on the density of what is inside of the cup
Which has a greater density a lake full of water or a cup full of water?
Density is weight by unit of volume, its only dependent on the liquid, not how much of it there is. If you fill the cup from the lake both the water in the cup and the water in the lake will have the same density. But if the water in the cup is from the ocean, and the lake is a freshwater lake, then the water in the cup will have a higher density.
How many kilo grams in a cup?
A cup of what? Kg = mass, cup = volume. You can derive the volume from the density and mass, or you can derive the density from the mass and the volume but without knowing the material the question is moot. You can't convert Kg to cups.
How many grams is 1 cup of sourcream?
Sourcream is about same density as water. So 1 cup is about 230 gm.
Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?
density is mass over volume. if the mass increases then the volume increases proportionately.
What is the density of 1 cup of water?
The density of water remains the same, no matter how much of it there is. The density of water OS 1 gram per centimeter cubed.
What measures must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
in a mesureing cup
Half cup equals how many grams in liquid?
It depends on the density of the liquid.
How many dry grams in one cup?
1 cup dry ingredients equals 110 grams.
What are some example from Density?
DENSITY is a physical property of matter, as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume. For example: A rock is obviously more dense than a crumpled piece of paper of the same size.A styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup. Density may also refer to how closely "packed" or "crowded" the material appears to be - again refer to the styrofoam vs. ceramic cup.
