1st measure its mass using a calibrated electronic balance. 2nd if the powdered substance is insoluble in water, u can measure its volume by placing it into a measuring cylinder of 50cm^3 of water. Record the new reading. 3rd calculate the volume of the substance: new reading(cm^3) - 50(cm^3) 4th using the equation: Density = mass/volume, the density can be determined -- (not patskewl)

--- if you ask me, this answers the question perfectly (patskewl)

How would you determine the density of a powdered dry sample which soluble in water?

1. Apparent density: - weight a graduated cyllinder - put the sample in the graduated cyllinder up to a given volume (note this volume) - weight the graduated cyllinder with the sample - calculate the mass of the powder by difference - the density is the ratio mass of the sample/volume of the sample 2. True density of a powder: you need a helium pycnometer.


How do you calculate density using a formula?

Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of the substance) divided by (volume of the same sample)


How do you calculate volume when you have mass and density?

Volume of a sample = (its mass) divided by (its density)


What is the density of sample b?

To determine the density of sample B, you need to know its mass and volume. Density is calculated using the formula: density = mass/volume. If you provide the specific mass and volume of sample B, I can help you calculate its density.


How to calculate percent of air content of soil sample?

To calculate the percent of air content in a soil sample, you need to determine the volume of air in the soil and divide it by the total volume of the sample. This can be done by measuring the bulk density of the soil and the particle density, then subtracting the particle density from the bulk density to get the volume of air. Finally, divide the volume of air by the total volume and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.


HOW TO SOLVE DENSITY OF GRAPHITE?

To determine the density of graphite, you need to measure the mass and volume of the graphite sample. You can then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the sample by its volume. The density of graphite is around 2.2 g/cm³.


Calculate the density of a sample of gas with a mass of 30g and a volume of 7500cm3?

density= mass/volume 30g/7500cm3=.004g/cm3


A sample of iron has a volume of 10 dot 0 mL The density of iron is 7 dot 87 gmL Which is the correct expression to calculate the mass of the sample using dimensional analysis?

To calculate the mass of the sample using dimensional analysis, you would use the expression: mass = volume × density Substitute the given values for volume (10.0 mL) and density (7.87 g/mL) into the expression to calculate the mass of the iron sample.

Can density of an entire solution be measured from a small sample?

Yes, the density of an entire solution can be estimated through the measurement of a small sample. By accurately measuring the volume and mass of a small sample, you can calculate the density of the entire solution using the formula Density = Mass/Volume.


What volume of a 2 percent Clindamycin solution can be made from 12 gm of Clindamycin powder?

To calculate the volume of a 2% Clindamycin solution, we need to know the density of the powder. Different formulations of Clindamycin powder may have different densities. Once we have the density, we can divide the mass of the powder (12 g) by the density to obtain the volume of the solution. The equation is: Volume (mL) = Mass (g) / Density (g/mL).


What procedures would you do if you wanted to calculate the density of an unknown substance?

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.
