Density
Tells you how much mass is packed into a given volume of space.
Density equation
Mass(kg/g) / Volume(cm3/m3)
Method to determine the density of a regular object
Measure mass using a balance, measure the sides of the block using a ruler, calculate the volume using l x w x h and use the density equation to work out the density
Method to determine the density of an irregular object
Measure mass of irregular object with a balance. Fill the eureka can with water up to the spout, carefully submerge the object into the water (lower using string), collect displaced water into a measuring cyclinder, displaced water= volume of object, use density equation
Method to determine the density of a liquid
Place measuring cylinder on a balance, zero balance reading, pour in a volume of liquid, read off the scale (1ml=1cm3), record mass of balance in grams, use density equation (mass/volume)
Arrangement of particles in a solid
Regular
Arrangement of particles in a liquid
Irregular
Arrangement of particles in a gas
Random
Is there space between the particles in a solid
No
Is there space between the particles in a liquid
No
Is there space between the particles in a gas
Yes
Movement of particles in a solid
Vibrate about fixed positions
Movement of particles in a liquid
Move loosely around eachother
Movement of particles in a gas
Move in random speeds in random directions
Forces of attraction between particles in a solid
Strong
Forces of attraction between particles in a liquid
Weakened (bonds have loosened)
Forces of attraction between particles in a gas
Virtually zero
Density of a solid
High
Density of a liquid
Medium
Density of a gas
Low
If an object is more dense than the liquid it is in, what will happen
It will sink
If an object is less dense than the liquid it is in, what will happen
It will float
What kind of changes are state changes
Physical changes, they can be reversed
What will mass always be in a state change
Conserved (the same)
