1 Graphing and Density In addition to values that you can directly measure like length, mass, or volume, chemistry is filled with values that must be calculated. The most common of these is density. Density is defined as the mass of an object per unit volume. To put it more commonly, density is how heavy or light something is. We use the quotation marks on those words because heavy and light refer to mass but if you have a substance that is very dense, it feels heavy for a small object. Something that is not very dense has a very small mass for a big object. Let s put it another way: what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks? The answer, of course, is neither. They both weigh a pound so their mass is equal. However, imagine how many bricks you d have to get to amass a pound; probably only one. Think of how many feathers it would take to get a pound; that s a lot of feathers. The brick is very dense it has a lot of mass in a small space. The feathers are not dense they have little mass in a lot of space. 1 pound of brick 1 pound of feathers Mathematically, density goes by the following formula: Density = mass volume You can use this equation to solve for density, mass, or volume as long as you know two of the three.
2 Examples: A) What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 100 grams and volume of 20 ml? density = X D = m X = 100 g X = 5 g/ml mass = 100 grams v 20 ml volume = 20 ml B) What mass is 500 ml of a substance that has a density of 14 g/ml? density = 14 g/ml D = m 14 g/ml = X X = (14 g/ml)(500 ml) mass = X v 500 ml X = 7000 g volume = 500 ml C) How much space does 25 grams of a substance with a density of 3 g/ml occupy? density = 3 g/ml D = m 3 g/ml = 25 g X = 25 g mass = 25 g v X 3 g/ml volume = X ml X = 8.33 ml Measuring Volume Density is a property of matter that cannot be directly measured easily. One must measure both the mass and volume of a substance for this to occur. Measuring the mass of a substance is trivial if you have a digital scale. However, measuring the volume of a substance can be very tricky, especially if the substance is irregular in shape. If the substance is a cube or other regular shape, you can use formulas like V = Length x Width x Height to calculate the volume but if the substance is a lump, how would you measure the amount of space it occupies? One of the easiest methods to use is that of Archimedes principle of water displacement. The idea is as follows: if a known quantity of water is measured for its volume and a substance is placed into the container, the substance will displace some of the water, causing its volume to increase. The amount of volume the water increased, is the amount of volume the substance occupies. The graduated cylinder has 20 ml of water in it here. When the stone is put in, the volume increases to 23 ml. Thus the stone has a volume of or 3 ml. Archimedes of Syracuse lived approximately from 287 to 212 BC. He is considered the greatest mathematician of the Ancient World. physics/buoyancy_files/submerged-and- Displacing.png library/science/_gifs/ archimedes.jpg
3 Density and Graphing Once you measure the mass and volume of a substance, calculating the density should be easy. There is, however, another way to represent density and that is by graphing it. Density is the relationship between mass and volume so our graph will reflect that. Volume (ml) Mass (g) If this graph is a true reflection of density, where is the density? We see the mass, we see the volume, but where is the density? Remember that D = m/v. How are we going to get that? Look at the relationship: a normal straight line is y = mx +b. We can see that the y-intercept is at 0,0 so our equation becomes simpler: y = mx. Let s substitute in our variables for y and x. On the y-axis we have mass and on the x-axis we have volume so: y = mx Mass = m (volume) Rearranging the equation: m = Mass Volume What is m in a straight line equation? It is the slope of the line. From the equation above: y = 5x the slope of the line is 5 so the density of the substance is 5 g/ml
4 Mass (g) Comparing Densities Graphically If you compare different substances on the same graph, you can tell which are more dense relative to each other. Here is a set of data for three different substances and their masses at various volumes: Volume (ml) Mass A (g) Mass B (g) Mass C (g) Densities of Various Substances y = 1.2x y = 0.8x Mass A (g) Mass B (g) Mass C (g) Linear (Mass A (g)) Linear (Mass C (g)) Linear (Mass B (g)) y = 0.2x Volume (ml) You can tell by the steepness of the lines that substance B is the most dense and substance A is the least dense. Looking at the slope equations, their densities are as follows: A = 0.2 g/ml B = 1.2 g/ml C = 0.8 g/ml
5 cache/ bcb9b8db117ee64376aedaf7af3595ca/ sevenlayer jpg Mass (g) Water has a density of 1 g/ml. Which of these substances would sink in water and which would float? A substance will sink in water if it is more dense and will float if it is less dense. If we draw in a line for water: Densities of Various Substances y = 1.2x H 2 O y = 0.8x Mass A (g) Mass B (g) Mass C (g) Linear (Mass A (g)) Linear (Mass C (g)) Linear (Mass B (g)) y = 0.2x Volume (ml) We can see that substance B is more dense than water so will sink. Substances A and C are less dense than water so will float. This picture shows four different liquids in what is called a density column. The bottom layer is the most dense and the top layer is the least dense.
