Density is a calculated value, it is not determined a from any specific volume. It is usually reported as gm/cm3.
Assume you have 25 ml of a liquid. A ml equals 1 cm3. The liquid is weighed and found to have a weight of 25 gm. There are fine points about whether this is a weight of 25 gm or mass of 25 gm, but assume this was weighed on an equal arm balance so the terms are equivalent.
Most commonly density is the number of gms of material in 1 cm3 (gm/cm3). Since 25 cm3 weighs 25 gm the density is 25gm/25 cm3 or 1 gm/cm3. Some industrial users may use kg/m3.
For gases the process is similar, but the answer is usually adjusted to some standard of temperature and pressure.

How do you determine the density of each 50 mL liquid container?
To determine the density of each 50 mL liquid container, you would first weigh the empty container. Next, fill the container with the liquid and weigh it again. The difference in weight between the filled and empty container can be used to calculate the density by dividing the weight of the liquid by the volume of the container.
Can you use a kilogram to measure a liquid?
While a kilogram is a unit of mass, it can indirectly be used to measure the volume of a liquid by converting the mass to a volume using the liquid's density. The density of the liquid will determine how much volume is equivalent to a kilogram of that liquid.
To explain one method that might be used to determine the density of a solid material and one method that might be used to determine the density of a liquid?
One method to determine the density of a solid material is to measure its mass using a balance and then measure its volume using a graduated cylinder or displacement method. Divide the mass by the volume to find the density. For a liquid, one method is to measure its mass using a balance and then measure its volume by using a graduated cylinder or a specific gravity bottle. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density.
How do you find the density of a liquid?
To find the density of a liquid, you must find its mass and volume. To find the mass, use a triple beam balance, put the liquid into a container, weigh it, subtract the weight of the container, and that is how to get the mass. Then, to find the volume, use a graduated cylinder, put the liquid into the container, and then find the mark where the liquid line lands, and that is your volume. Then, divide your mass by your volume, and there is your density in grams per centimeter cubed (g/cm3).
Density is used to determine all what except what?
Density can be used to determine the mass and the volume of a given solid.
How is mass divide by volume?
This formula is used in the calculation for density, Density=mass/volume,normally in the calculation of liquid volume or density.
How is mass divided by volume done?
This formula is used in the calculation for density, Density=mass/volume,normally in the calculation of liquid volume or density.
What equipment is used to measure the density of a liquid and also of a large cube of metal?
To measure the density of a liquid, a hydrometer is commonly used, which floats in the liquid and provides a reading based on the level it sinks to. For measuring the density of a large cube of metal, a balance scale can be used to determine its mass, while the volume can be calculated by measuring its dimensions or by water displacement in a graduated cylinder. The density is then calculated using the formula density = mass/volume.
How is density used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid?
Density is used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid by comparing the density of the material to the density of the liquid. If the material has a greater density than the liquid, it will sink. If the material has a lower density than the liquid, it will float. Objects float when they displace an amount of liquid equal to their own weight.
Why does hydrometer is used to find the density of dock?
It is not used for this.A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids, NOT rock.To measure the density of a rock you weigh a piece of it in air, then measure the volume of water it displaces in a measuring jug.Density = mass/volume.
What type of density is a graduated cylinder?
The question seems absurd has no meaning. measuring cylinder is a device to measure the volume. if you want to find density of a cube, you an find volume displaced and knowing mass can find the density - Archimedean principle it is beyond the scope of this page to answer fully
What is the instrument used to find density?
Any instruments that can measure mass and length. (not at the same time, doesnt have to be the same instrument). By measuring the length, height and width of an object you can determine it's volume and by weighing it you can determine it's mass. From these results it's possible to calculate the objects density.
