for the same volume of both, 5 grams is less dense. Your question shows that you do not understand what Density means. If you want to compare densities of different substances, you must say what the substances WEIGH, and also say what the VOLUME is, of each of them. DENSITY is always expressed in gram/cc (gram per cubic centimetre.). A cube which measures exactly 1cm on all of it's 12 edges, has a volume of exactly 1cubic cm. EXAMPLE of density:- The Density of Aluminium is about 3gm/cc. The density of Steel is about 8 gm/cc. Scientists always measure density by finding the weight of a substance which occupies a volume of 1 cubic cm. I have a booklet which lists the density of every commonly used metal, and rubber and timber. Different timbers have different densities. Timber density can be as low as 0.2gm/cc and as high as 2gm/cc. Always remember that the density of pure WATER is exactly 1gm/cc. A commonly used term is Relative Density, which means the ratio of a substance density compared to WATER. So, you can see that the Relative Density of Aluminium is simply 3, because it's density is 3 times as much as the density of the most common substance on earth(which never changes no matter where it comes from, but it must be PURE Water.) I hope that helps you understand how to talk about Density.

If you have two objects that are the same size and one of them has a mass of 50 g and the other object has a mass of 10 g which object has the greatest density?

The object with the mass of 50g has the greatest density because density is mass divided by volume, and since volume is the same for both objects (since they are the same size), the object with the greater mass will have the greater density.


What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 50g and a volume of 210cm3?

The density of the wood is calculated by dividing the mass (50g) by the volume (210cm3). Density = Mass/Volume, so 50g / 210cm3 = 0.238 g/cm3.


What is the density of a cube with volume of 8cm3 and mass of 50g?

density = mass/volume = 50g/8cm^3 = 6.25 g/cm^3


What is the mass of the compound sugar water as you add 50g of sugar to 50g of water?

mass is conserved (total mass is the sum of the mass of the constituents) so 50 + 50 = 100g

Which has greater volume 100g of gold or 100g of water?

Well, honey, 100g of gold has a greater volume than 100g of water. Gold is denser than water, so even though they weigh the same, gold takes up less space. It's like comparing a compact car to a big ol' SUV - same weight, different sizes. Hope that clears things up for ya!

What is the density of an object with a mass of 50g and a volume of 5 cm?

The density of the object is 10 g/cm³. It is calculated by dividing the mass (50g) by the volume (5 cm³).
