What is the density of gold when the mass is 5.00 cm?
5.00 cm is a length measurement, not a mass measurement. You need to know the mass and volume of an object to find density. Density = mass/volume.
How would you find the density of an unknown liquid if you have all of the laboratory equipment that you need?
This depends on the nature and form of the sample:- for a solid with a regulate shape weight the sample and calculate the volume from the dimensions; density is the ratio between mass and volume. You can measure the volume of great sample by water displacement.- for other solids use a pycnometer- for liquids use a densimeter (simple or electronic)etc.
How do you find volume mass and density?
When you have a piece of a substance, its mass and volume have to be measured.After you've done that, you can calculate the density ... it's (mass) divided by (volume).It doesn't matter whether the sample you have is large or small. The densitywill be the same.
How do you find the density of a solid if a sample weighing 55.234grams raises the water level in a graduate from 18.6mL to 25.7mL?

How do you find mass when given the density?
Density depends on mass and volume. If you know any two of the three quantities, you can calculate the missing one. If you only know the density, you can't find the mass of a sample until you first measure its volume. Density at times is posted at lb/gal. Multiply the density by the volume in gallons to give you mass.

What measures must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?
in a mesureing cup
What measurements must you make to find density of a sample of matter?
density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
How can you find the density of?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
What measurement is needed to find out how many trees in an acre?
density
How can you find the density of saltwater?
Take a sample. Measure its mass and volume. divide. Density = m/v
How do you find the density of chalk?
Density is measure as mass/volume. As with any matter, the density of chalk would require: 1. a measurement of its mass 2. a measurement for its volume. Mass can be measures on a scale in kg. Chalk's shape also makes it calculable for volume (in metres). If it is cylindrical, measure the height and the radius, then solve for V = (pi)(r^2)h. Divide the mass by that volume and find its density in kg/m^3.

What measurement of a liquid can you make with a graduated cylinder h ow can this measurement help you find density?
everyone, believe in God
What is the density of a piece of cork that has a mass of 0.650 g and a volume of 2.71 cm2?
Volume of a substance is measured in cubic units and is given by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case it is not possible to find the density of the cork since 2.71cm2 is a measurement of an area.
How would you use the density formula to find the volume or mass of a sample?
You have to know two out of three ... mass, volume, density ... then you can find the missing one. If density is missing . . . Density = (mass)/(volume) If mass is missing . . . Mass = (density) x (volume) If volume is missing . . . Volume = (mass)/(density)
