1 Name: ANSWER KEY Pd: Date: Individually work on this self-assessment your understanding density. Part I: Answer the questions below. SOLID Density Review Block E A B C D E H = 3.00 F G H I J K L M N O L = 5.00 W = H = E L = W = 1. Density is a measurement the amount Mass per unit. olume 2. Calculate the Density the SOLID OBJECT above. Assume that its mass is 8.53g. Show your work below: (a) What Formula are you using: = L x W x H (b) What Numbers and Labels are you using in this formula: = 5.00 x x 3.00 (c) What is the Answer: = D = 8.53g D = g/ 3 3. What is the MASS Block E pictured above, assuming it was pulled out the SOLID OBJECT above? Mass = g 4. How did you get the answer you did for question number 3? Explain how you found the answer. The Density the Large is g/ 3. This means that every one unit volume has this mass. Since Block E is a single unit volume, it has to have a mass equal to the density the object.

2 5.) What would the density a liquid need to be in order to have ALL the following objects float in it? g/ g/ g/ g/ 3 In order to have all these objects float, they would need to be placed in a liquid that has a density g/ml or larger. 6.) Why does a Hot Air Balloon rise up? Hot air is less dense than cold air. When the balloon operator wants the balloon to rise he/she pulls on a cord which increase the size a flame at the base the balloon. This larger flame increases the temperature the air in the balloon making it less dense than the air outside the balloon 7.) What s the Density Water? Pure water has a density 0 g/ml 8.) Explain the following pictures in terms Density. When you tip the milk jug sideways, the milk will Sink through the Air and find its way to the bottom the glass because it is denser than the air. When you tip the Chocolate sideways, the syrup will Sink through the milk and find its way to the bottom the glass because it is denser than the milk.

3 Part II: Below are examples from the density labs you have completed in class. Look them over and FIRST make any corrections that might need to be made, and then SECOND -explain why you made the corrections.
