Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that density is a fundamental property of matter that relates mass and volume.
Recall the definition of density: it is the mass of a substance divided by its volume.
In mathematical terms, density (ρ) can be expressed as: , where m is mass and V is volume.
Differentiate between density and concentration: concentration refers to the amount of solute in a given volume of solution, not the mass per unit volume of a substance.
Recognize that the correct description of density in chemistry is 'The mass of a substance per unit volume'.
