ShareEarth's Structure - How Dense Can You Get?
Previously Sci-ber text gave you the opportunity to calculate density. Remember the formula is: Density=mass/volume. Thanks to the research of some great teachers, we now have data you can use for things found naturally on the Earth. There is nothing "tricky" about this data. In fact, if you wish, you may use a calculator to assist you!
Now
you need to test your math ability! Use the data in the table below to
calculate the densities of some common materials on earth.
| Substance | Mass in grams | Volume in cubic centimeters | Density in grams/cubic centimeters |
| 1. Gold | 193.2g | 10 cm3 | |
| 2. Oxygen | 1.33g | 100 cm3 | |
| 3. Water | 10.0g | 10 cm3 | |
| 4. Helium | 1.663g | 10,000 cm3 | |
| 5. Mercury | 67.75g | 5 cm3 | |
| 6. Copper | 224g | 25 cm3 |
After completing the your calculations, check your answers by highlighting the box below!
1. 19.32 g/cm3, 2. .001331 g/cm3 , 3. 1 g/cm3, 4. 0.0001663 g/cm3, 5. 13.55 g/cm3, 6. 8.96 g/cm3 |
