Measuring Density with Lab Glassware

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume. It is often written in units such as g/mL or kg/m3. Because density does not change with the amount of material present, it is an intensive property.

To find density, both mass and volume must be measured. A balance is used to measure mass...

Density, defined as a substance's mass per unit volume, is an important physical property for characterizing a material or chemical system.

Mathematically, density is calculated as a substance?s mass per the volume it occupies. The Greek symbol "?" is normally used to denote density in the physical sciences. To obtain the density of a subs...
