Kinetic theory and density

Question 1

What is matter?

Answer 1

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume)

Question 2

What does kinetic mean?

Answer 2

Moving

Question 3

What does the Kinetic theory of matter explain?

Answer 3

Kinetic theory of matter explains…
How matter is arranged in different substances
How matter moves
How matter behaves
…all in terms of the particles and forces (bonds) between them

Question 4

What is density?

Answer 4

Mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed and therefore how heavy the molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume.

Question 5

What is the equation for density?

Answer 5

Density = mass/volume
p=m/v

Question 6

What unit is density in?

Answer 6

kg/m^3 or g/cm^3

Question 7

How to find the density of a liquid?

Answer 7

The volume can be measured using a measuring cylinder and the mass can be measured using a balance

Question 7

How do you find the density of an irregular shape?

Answer 7

First you weigh the object on a balance and then put the object in a displacement can and find the volume of the displaced water

Question 7

What is 1ml in m^3?

Answer 7

1x10^-6m^3
