The true density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material. The true density of powders often differs from that of the bulk material because the process of comminution, or grinding will change the crystal structure near the surface of each particle and therefore the density of each particle in a powder. In addition, voids at the surface of a particle, into which liquids will not penetrate, can generate apparent volume which will cause serious errors when density is measured by liquid displacement. The pycnometer G-DenPyc 2900 by Gold APP Instruments are specifically designed to measure the true volume of solid materials by employing Archimedes' principle of fluid (gas) displacement and the technique of gas expansion. True densities are measured using helium gas since it will penetrate every surface flaw down to about one Angstrom, thereby enabling the measurement of powder volumes with great accuracy. The measurement of density by helium displacement often can reveal the presence of impurities and occluded pores which cannot be determined by any other method.

Can scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float. False True?

True. Scientists can use the measure of density to determine if an object will float or sink in a fluid. If the density of an object is less than that of the fluid, it will float; if the density is greater, it will sink.


What is the true density of Aluminium?

Alumiium has a density of 2.70 grams/cm3, near room temperature. If you prefer standard SI units, that would be 2700 kilograms per cubic meter. ============================================== for density, there are many kinds, do not know what sort of density are you meaning. If for true density, need professional analyzer to test it


Why particle density is also called true density?

Particle density is sometimes referred to as true density because it represents the actual density of the material excluding any void spaces that may be present. It is a measure of how closely packed the particles are within a given volume, providing a more accurate reflection of the material's intrinsic properties.


The buoyancy of an object can be changed by changing the object's average density true or false?

The upthrust depends on the volume of object if volume is more the liquid displaced will be more and the force per unit area will increase and density is equal to mass per unit volume so by density the buoyancy.


What density of the blue object is true?

The density of the blue object is determined by dividing the mass of the object by its volume. It is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume.
