Mass/Volume/Density
1. Mass
The amount of matter that makes up an
object.
2. Volume
The amount of space that an object occupies.
3. Density
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a
measure of how tightly packed and how heavy the
molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of
matter within a certain volume.
The average density of an object equals its total mass
divided by its total volume.
4. Gram (g)
The basic unit of measurement for mass. 1
cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1
gram.
5. Meter (m)
The basic unit of measurement for distance.
1 meter = 39.4 inches
6. Liter (L)
•
The basic unit of measurement for volume.
•
1 liter = 4 1/4 cups
•
= 33.8 ounces
7. g/cm
3
Gram per cubic centimeter is a unit of
density. Defined as mass in grams divided
by volume in cubic centimeters.
8. g/mL
Measurement unit of density; used to
measure volume in milliliters in order to
estimate the mass in grams.
9. mL
Stands for milliliter; used to measure
volume. 1 mL = 1/1000 L
10. cm
3
Cubic centimeter; a commonly used unit of
volume. Corresponds to the volume of a
cube that measures 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.
11. Graduated Cylinder
A piece of equipment used to measure the
volume of a liquid.
12. Triple Beam Balance
An instrument used to measure the mass of
an object very precisely in grams (g).
13. Beaker
A simple container for stirring, mixing, and
heating liquids in the lab. Beakers will range
in size from 1 mL to several liters. Can be
used to measure volume.
14. Viscosity
A liquid’s resistance to flow.
15. Velocity
Speed and direction of a moving object.
Discover the essential concepts of mass, volume, and density in science. Learn how to differentiate between these terms, their units of measurement, and their significance in understanding the physical properties of objects. Explore the importance of mass in determining the amount of matter, the concept of volume in relation to space occupied, and the calculation of density as mass per unit volume. Enhance your scientific knowledge with visual aids and clear definitions for easy comprehension.
