Answer:Mass is measured on a triple beam balance units = GRAMS.
Volume is measured in two ways.
Regular Object = Length X Width X Height units = cm3
Irregular Objects units = mL
Pour about 50 mL of water into a graduated cylinder. Measure and record the exact amount.
Add the object. Measure and record the new water level.
SUBTRACT the original water amount from the new water level to find the volume of the object.
= MASS (g)
VOLUME (cm3
)
Example One:
A mineral has a mass of 100g and a volume of 10 mL. What is its density?
= mass = 100g = 10 g/mL
Volume 10 mL
Example Two:
A mineral has a mass of 25 g and a volume of 5 cm3
. What is its density?
= mass = 25g = 5 g/cm3
Volume 5 cm3
**Mass ÷ Volume to find the numerical answer. Bring over BOTH units**
