DENSITY
Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
d =
m
V
Example:
A brick of salt measuring 10.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 2.00 cm has a mass of 433 g. What is its density?
Step 1: Calculate the volume
V = lwh = 10.0 cm × 10.0 cm × 2.00 cm = 200 cm³
Step 2: Calculate the density

We can rearrange this to get the expression for the mass.
m = d×V
Example:
If 500 mL of a liquid has a density of 1.11 g/mL, what is its mass?
