Which formula is used to calculate the density of a substance?
A
Density = Mass + Volume
B
Density = Mass / Volume
C
Density = Mass x Volume
D
Density = Volume / Mass
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the concept of density: Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
Recall the formula for density: Density is calculated as the mass of a substance divided by its volume.
Express the formula mathematically: \( \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \).
Understand the units: Typically, mass is measured in grams (g) and volume in cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (mL), so density is often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).
Apply the formula: To find the density of a substance, divide the mass by the volume using the formula \( \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \).
